I tried the number on the back right corner and the numbers on the tuning cap but can't seem to find the radio. Even tried looking on Ebay. Cleaned up all the switches and AM works great but can't get anything on FM. Tried a signal generator on FM and the radio I listen to picked it up but not the silvertone. Freaked out the cat with the tone
Thanks in Advance everyone

Hi

That unit looks like it is from the late 1960s or early 1970s; and as such, you will probably find little if any information on it since it is too new to be "collectible."

That having been said, however, there should be a model number on that back cover somewhere. Something starting with, if my memory is correct, 51-xxxxxx and/or 562.xxxxxx. This will, at least, enable you to find the correct Sams Photofact for it.

Hi Ron
All the tags are gone, nothing inside or out. I even tried searching what I believe to be the chassis number with no luck. Fm side is out, no static, nothing. Guess it's time to start just testing componets.
