Unidentified Silvertone
#1

I had a moment of weakness today while checking out a recently opened antique shop and bought a six-legged Silvertone console radio. Being that Silvertones are hard to find around here and that any before 1935-36 are impossible to find with the legs intact, I bit. I tried every excuse I could not to buy it because I am short on cash and the one ton truck is a flatbed. Well, it actually fit inside the cab!
Anyways, I have no idea what model this unit is and need to find out. The tag has become so brown that I can just barely make out the tube diagram, with everything else lost to time but the serial number. It's not a big console, but it has a deep 10 tube chassis crammed in there with an odd tube layout. For one thing, it uses an 83 rectifier that is still alive, with the other oddity being that it uses four type 45 tubes! Checked the tag and that is correct an most of the tubes are still the original Silvertone brand. Anyways, pictures should help. Missing a small piece of the grill, but I am using this radio to get my foot in the door. Guy supposedly has several others in better shape that he is going to cycle through the shop.

   
   

No matter where you go, there you are.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
