.jpg "Silvertone 1905 (1936)") |
 The 1900 series Silvertones are some of my favorites. Most of them are gorgeous tombstones with different "airplane" dials. These dials were found on the top of the line Silvertone sets. The chassis in different tube combinations was used for several 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 1905 is a eight-tube, three-band (AM, SWx2) radio. This radio has push-pull audio utilizing two 6F6 output tubes. 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. This is one of the strongest performing tombstone radios I have owned, comparable to the 10-S-130 Zenith or a Philco 16B. It picks up several stations even before you deploy the antenna. There is a ton of volume with that push-pull radio through the original eight inch speaker! Gary completely restored the cabinet back to its original beauty, ending up with a gorgeous "piano" finish. The original knobs, chassis and 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. $849.00. (1600566) |
