The 1900 series Silvertones are some of my favorites. Most of them are gorgeous tombstones with different "airplane" dials. They use the code 101.xxx chassis. That chassis was used for hundreds of models from 1930 to 1938 and was manufactured by Colonial. Silvertone used dozens of furniture companies to manufacture their cabinets, and were of a high quality. The 1909 is a seven-tube, three-band (AM, SWx2) radio. All of the capacitors were replaced with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse, audio input and antenna lead were installed. Gary completely restored the cabinet back to it's original beauty, ending up with a gorgeous "piano" finish. The original knobs, chassis and Rola speaker are present, and a reproduction grille cloth was added. The 1900 series Silvertones are gorgeous radios, and here's a perfect example to show off in your collection! 19-1/4"H x 14"W x 12"D. $695.00. (1600399)
