• Notes

• This is one of the very first cathedrals Silvertone ever made. It sold for $35.50 in 1931 dollars, and was billed as "a small set with a big punch." It has a clean-lined look about it with very interesting grill cutouts and shaded tone around the grill. Unlighted peep window dial below. Four knobs for tone, tuning, volume and on-off. Measures 14 3/4" w x 7 1/2" d x 17" high.

  Manufactured by Colonial Radio that also sold this as the Colonial 36AC.
