Looking for Tele-tone radio info.
 

Anybody seen one of these? It's a Tele-tone Model 99 AM clock radio. I can't find any information about it. It's not in Sams index, though it does seem to resemble a Stromberg-Carlson C-3 (I don't have the Sams folder for that). I once saw a picture of a white Model 99 on e-pay several years ago, but that is the only other one I have ever seen.

I do not have any information...

But that is one nice looking radio.:thmbsp:

Yes, it certainly does resemble the C-3. Sams folder is on my Stromberg page: http://www.audiophool.cjb.net/MadeInRoch.html

My Tele-Tone has different tubes and caps than the S-C C-3. I'll have to see if I can make a list. What's interesting is there's another Teletone AM radio--Model 990--that resembles another S-C radio--Model T-4. They both seem to be using the same style plastic cases.

Tubes are:
12AD6
12AV6
12BA6
35W4
50C5

(Wax) capacitors
.047uf 400v
.068uf 200v
.068uf 200v
.016uf 200v

E-cap (cardboard variety)
20/40uf 150/150v

Boy, that is a lot more pretty than my C-3, which is a weird green color with dark gold accents. Does the TeleTone have a schematic glued to the bottom of the cabinet like the C-3's?

No tube chart or schematic. I made my own tube chart on a note card, before I wrote the tube numbers on the chasis with a Sharpie ultra-fine point marker. I've gotten into the habit of doing that with all my tube stuff (If I need to remove the ink, alcohol and q-tips does the trick). I bought this radio several years ago in a thrift shop. Because it is in such good shape, I thought it was a repro. until I saw the tubes through the back panel. The tubes are the original "Tele-tone" marked tubes. I think the dates on them are 1960. Curious to know if there was a merger between S-C and T-T.
