Silvertone 7407 Tuner-Amplifiers
#4

Yeah, you don't really want to collect too many of these! Though, like I said, I had three of these to begin with. Sold the worst off put the other two together into this cabinet to make a working unit with spare parts left over. Really, the only issue now besides the MPX box is it gets into moods where the FM gets weak. It doesn't cut out, just gets weak until I flick the band switch back and forth. Not sure if its a true issue or if the contacts in the band switch aren't happy. The switch is semi-sealed, so hard to get any cleaner into the contacts! If it is an issue, I only have to take the 'head unit' in to be worked on instead of speakers and all. The shop I know keeps two sets of large speakers on hand just for working on units like this. Basically, any decent set of 8 ohm speakers will work.(Actually, getting the MPX boxes repaired will probably help in any case).

No matter where you go, there you are.
