  • Notes

  • Same chassis of the Geloso Polaris G3303.

    The PCB of the SILCO KIT has GELOSO name and the number 150004. This chassis is equipped with 3 drift type transistors in the RF-stages (OC170 as converter and 2 OC169 as IF-transistors). The only differences from Geloso G3303 are that the KIT doesn't have the damping diode 1G85 and I have found a 2k7 ohm resistor instead of 4k7 ohm resistor in the AGC-circuit. 

    The case of the SILCO KIT is made of pressed strong cardbord and seems to be covered with a very thin layer of polyvinyl chloride (vipla in Italian language).
