• Notes

• The Silvertone models 3200 (Color = Maroon), 3202 ( = Green) and 3203 ( = Silver) from Sears Roebuck & Co. with the chassis 528.259 are three power portable superheterodyne receivers. It seems that according to Beitman Radio Diagram the models Silvertone 2200, 2202 and 2203 use the same chassis and come also with chassis 528.229. We list all of them but don't know the differences between those chassis (Rider shows the same content) and of the cases (3 to 2 thousand).

  Oversize 5-7-inch Speaker. Less battery.
  
  There is also a transistor radio Silvertone 3203 from 1961/1962 - see Photofact 598-13.
