  • Notes

  • The Silvertone 1590 (Early version) is an AC operated 6 tube BC band receiver.

    The Late version uses a 58 mixer tube in place of the 57 tube and added a 5th tuned circuit on the secondary of the 2nd IF transformer, thus increasing the selectivity.  

    See details and summaries about Sears catalogs etc. This model was manufactured for Sears by Colonial Radio Corp., Buffalo, NY (Sears Manufacturer Source Number Code 101).
