Silvertone was the brand name for radios sold by the Sears and Roebuck company. Sears branded everything under the sun--even houses--without manufacturing anything. During this period, several companies manufactured radios for Silvertone. This particular radio was manufactured by Mission Bell in Los Angeles. Silvertone radios were of a high quality, and they used different cabinet and furniture companies to produce many beautiful cabinets. The model 45 is a five-tube, two-band (SB,SW) radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where necessary. A new power cord, safety fuse, audio in/out cable and antenna lead were installed. Gary stripped the cabinet and skillfully restored it, ending up with a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The original knobs, chassis and speaker are with the radio. The chassis is very clean with all of the original badges. All in all, a very rare model that looks and plays well. Certainly a unique and collectable radio! 14-1/2"W x 14"H x 8"D. $695.00. (1600557) |
