This 240H was Stromberg Carlson's top table model radio. The cabinet features contrasting veneers and an elaborate curved bakelite grill in an Art Nouveau styling. I acquired this set from Ebay in February 2014.

Schematic and information

    The grillwork, on the side, is made of hollow bakalite and is mounted in place by fore black nails. The speaker, inside, is mounted facing out at a 45 degree angle.

    The dial is of an orange celluloid material that, when the radio is turned on, a bright beam of light acts as the tuning pointer much like that of the early 1930s Philco radios. The dial scales are printed on by a strong think, non water soluble, paint which makes cleaning the dial relatively safe.
    The original fabric belt was replaced by a JFD #49 belt (15 11/32 inches) instead of the recommended JFD #48 (15 1/32 inches) which was to tight of a fit. It's not unusual that the supposed correct belt replacement turns out to be to short and going to the next size up is the belt that works.

    The chassis is painted with a crystalline paint finish for rust protection. The support handles were designed so that the chassis could be turned upside-down for ease of servicing. All of the components and hardware are of a higher quality then what's commonly seen in most radio chassis. This construction quality of this chassis is much greater then that expected from most of Stromberg Carlson's competition and it's still impressive even today.
