A couple of days ago the delivery man brought me this Stradolin.
I'm pleased with it, definitely satisfying to play. The bridge I think should be adjustable but for some reason the two parts seem to have been glued to make a one-piece bridge, which is a little too low. I temporarily raised it using a piece of veneer as a shim. (These temporary fixes have a way of becoming long-term).
The original tuners have been replaced with German-made Rubner tuners which seem ok.
The seller suggested a date from the 1940s, but a catalogue page on this website has a date of early 1950s. Model A15 in that publication.
