It is a true Silvertone.
Tubes get weak over time and get replaced. In the time of yore people did not worry too much about who the manufacturer was, a 45 is a 45 whether RCA, Philco or Ratheon.

Tube manufacturer has nothing whatsoever to do with the radio manufacturer. Save the time the radio just came from the factory when everyone tried to install their own tubes (if they made them).

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
