- Notes
-
The Stromberg-Carlson model 523 AC uses the socket power unit 403 (versions) with the Full-Wave Vacuum Rectifier 80 and two Half-Wave Rectifiers 277465. The same two chassis are used by model 524 AC.
They have two dials (primary tuning control knobs). Just an example how advertising was made in 1928 - under the title:
"Workmanship Tells in Tone quality"
"One touch of the control and you realize the exquisite workmanship of a Stromberg-Carlson. You sense such fineness of adjustment that you are not surprised at the glorious tone and the keen selectivity.
Workmanship does tell in a Receiver's performance. The even spacing and winding of the coils; the hairbradth alignement of condensers; perfect shielding even of the wires between the shielded stages - illustrate what has been done to give Stromberg-Carlson its reputation for tonal excellence.
And, if you own a Stromberg-Carlson you will take pride in tis external workmanship - the magnificent cabinetry - the panelling of inverse French marquetry - the fittings of enchased bronze, as well as the marvelous tone."
