Thank u all, really nothing but curious who made this puppy. It plays very strong, I got it off a fellow collector. The cabinet is too large really for the AA5 but it is a very solid set. It is aligned right on and is pretty sensitive at nite with just the Stratoscope antenna. it has 3 original tubes and is one of the cleanest chassis of any set I have.

I have heard that a well aligned set can be quite sensitive, perhaps this explains why some 5 tubers are mezza mezza and some seem to outperform their design.

I have seen cross references for makers of Silvertones and thought such a list may exist for Trutone.
