• Notes

• The chassis 101.526-1 from Colonial was used for Silvertone model 6102A in black, 6103A in Ivory and 6105A in Mottled Walnut. Already the earlier chassis 101.526 was used for the same cabinet and colours - but without the suffix A. The Rider's page 10-73 from June 15, 1938 shows the same schematic for all those models with or without suffix A. The first RF stage is untuned. 4 station push buttons. Broadcast reception 540 to 1730 kHz. There is no AVC. Undistorted output 0.85 watts, max. 1.5 watts. Field coil of 600 ohms resistance with 40 volts drop. The Sears catalog #178 shows on page 678 square shaped knobs for call letters, but on the photos of real sets we see round shaped knobs.
