Description:Vintage 1930s Stromberg Carlson Magnetic Pickup Outfit - Code No. 2
This is a really unusual phonograph pickup. Apparently it could be used to boost the sound of your phonograph by connecting to a Stromberg-Carlson receiver. The connectors on the end of the wire/connectors were tested for continuity and passed. It has not been tested further and is in vintage condition. It is missing the needle and comes as shown. Cosmetically some wear to finish and light spots of oxidation. The last photo is for reference only (not included) and is a screen shot of page about the model. Please see all photos.
From Radio Manufactures of the 1920s, Volume 3:
"The Magnetic Pick-up is readily installed in any standard phonograph. It plugs into the phonograph jack of a Stromberg-Carlson Receiver and makes possible electrical reproduction of records through the wonderful audio system of the Stromberg-Carlson Receiver, thus converting even an old phonograph to the equivalent of the most modern electrical reproducing instrument.
A specially designed control, located between the Pick-up and the Receiver, regulates the volume without muffling or distorting the music. A rich finish adds beauty to this device."
Combined weight is 3 lbs 12 oz.
