BrendaAnnD,
I did a little research on this model Silvertone. Turns out that Silvertone used two different chassis types manufactured by two different companies. one by Colonial and the other by Stewart-Warner, which accounts for the slight differences in the dials due to tracking. Also the Stewart-Warner chassis has the tuning knob off to the right, whereas the Colonial chassis tuning knob is directly below the dial. My silvertone has the Colonial make chassis.
Mike,
I do intend on fully restoring this set. it will be quite a challenge though, as the cabinet has quite a few issues, i.e. loose joints, delamination on the sides and missing veneer. It is a very attractive radio and well worth the effort to bring her back.
