The Setchell Carlson Company was a manufacturer of radios, electronic equipment, and televisions from 1928 until the 1960s.
The company was founded in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1928 by Bart Setchell and Carl Donald Carlson under the name "Karadio Corporation", and its first product was a car radio.
After the war, the company moved to New Brighton, Minnesota, in 1949, and produced televisions, which continued until the 1960s.
In the late 1960s or early 1970s, the company moved away from consumer televisions and focused on equipment for institutions, such as schools.
At its peak in the 1960s, the company employed about 500 at two plants in New Brighton and Arden Hills, Minnesota.
