  • Notes

  • The Sears Silvertone 1943 is a battery operated 6 tube LW, BC and SW band receiver. A 1E1 ballast tube is used to maintain the proper voltage across the filaments when used with a 3 volt battery.  A second 3V battery is used to power the dial lamp.

    The following models use the same schematic and chassis:

    Model Model Type Speaker Size
    1923 Table 6.5"
    1933 Console 8"
    1943 Table 6.5"
    1983 Table 6.5"
    1993 Console 8"

    These models originally used a 334 chassis. A few minor changes were made to the chassis, which then became 334X.
