Kewl !

I have the AM/FM version of that Silvertone in the top picture. I used to own the AM version like yours. Those were decent performers when working correctly.

that silvertone is a dang fine performer in my mind. Does great for nighttime AM DXing, and has killer sound. Did yours have a 35A5 installed in place of the 35L6? For some reason mine does, and it actually looks factory installed.

Schematics on the wall! I love it!:D

Aye, and one of them, is of the infamous 6LE8 transmitter :D

I think mine had a 35L6; but, I don't remember. I'm not surprised that yours uses a 35A5. Sometimes, companies would switch tube types in the middle of a production run. I guess they were either trying to use up remaining stock or they found that one tube type was slightly cheaper than the other.

Could be, the tube layout on mine shows it requiring a 35L6. the 35A5 is the only non-silvertone tube in the set.
