I have one of those little blue Silvertone radios for many years. Mine was an Ebay purchase that after a recap has performed great. I really like these metal midget sets for their simplicity and rugged construction. There is very little to go wrong once they are fixed up. That said, I am currently restoring a Model 1 that I believe has a bad antenna coil.
