• Notes

• The models Silvertone 9000 (color: Brown or Black - see catalog page) and the model Silvertone 9001 (color: Ivory) share the same chassis 132.857. The given Photofact folder does not reflect this (Date 7-49, 4913-13, set 65, folder 13). The receivers have a loop antenna. Besides the fact that the models have only 4 tuned circuits they have IR amplification before convertting to IF. A standard super has normally 6 tuned circuits including 4 15.95for IF. Recommended only if you have a Station in town! See also Silvertone model 9001.
