You all have missed one.

A sylvania, from about 1967 or so. Solid state--TO-3 germanium outs-- probably 5 full watts or more, to a sealed 4" speaker, and a HEAVY wood back. (just like the AM-FM version, from about the same time frame. Both have bass and treble controls and such.) They WILL outperform the Zenith H-845, and Realistic concertmaster(in MY opinion--those have WAY too much speaker for the P..$$ Poor little amp, of MAYBE 2 watts..) Those sylvainas WILL produce "gutter bass", and pretty loud sound--cleanly too. Can't recall the model # (something tells me RM-500 or such) of the FM-only one, but the AM-FM versions are RM-90 and RM-300.

I have both the concertmaster, several of BOTH models of the sylvaina AM-FM and recently...the sylvaina FM-only version. The chasssis looks the same....without the AM section.
