  • Notes
  • Without "Flash O LIte". The Silvertone 6144 is a model taken from Rider's Page 10-7 with a date April 15 from 1938. Then it has probably been produced already in 1937 - together with the following models on that plan: 4632A, 4633A, 6014, 6015, 6044, 6045, 6064, 6144, 6164, Chassis 101.505 or 101.505X. They use a storage battery for the tube heaters and two 45 volt batteries.
