  • Notes

  • The Sears Silvertone 57F 2071 or 2171 or 2271 are the same only that 2171 was with additional Wincharger 57FM5425 and 2271 with additional Gas-O-Power 57FM5401. It is generally model 2071 and offers three tuning bands: 540 to 1700 kHz broadcast, 1.8 to 5.5 MHz plus 6 to 18 MHz. Both, model 2471 and model 57FM2071 (or 2171 or 2271) share the same chassis with a magic eye, but one is a console the other a table top. They offer push-button tuning for 6 easy set up stations, AVC, variable tone control. For saving battery power they use a "Flash-O-Lite" dial which lights up only when tuning. Richly grained sliced walnut veneers, hand rubbed.
    Order number 57 FM 2071 is the radio Low-Boy console only for $ 39.95. As 57FM2171 it comes with Wincharger for $ 57.45 and as 57FM2271 with Gas-O-Power for $ 67.90. See details and summaries about Sears catalogs etc.
