Opposite hand Dial radio
 

Recently refinished/restored a Stromberg Carlson and noticed the dial is
mirrored to my other radios.

Any other mirrored dial radios - i.e.. 550 on the right side?

I have 3 or 4 with the 550 on the right side. Off hand I can't remember the
makes without digging through my collection. An old radio man once told me
radios were built this way for left handed people. He never cracked a smile
when saying this so I do not know if he was telling the truth or not.

Well, any radio calibrated in 'Metres' as many of the first radios with
actual calibration were [as opposed to just a 0-100 'logging' scale], then
550Kc would appear on the right if the Metre scale was ascending from the
left.
Looking at my display sets I have a Rogers and Sparton of mid to late '30
that are both that way, while most of the sets are 'conventional'.

I have seen 40s-50s Emersons with "mirrored" dials.
