Had a really nice 1931 Silvertone floor-stander on legs. Superhet with 175kc IF. RF stage, mixer, and IF were 24A tetrodes. Volume control worked by varying screen grid voltage on the 24As. Great DXer but no AVC, obviously. Lots of fun "riding the gain". Image rejection was less than stellar despite the RF stage. The local station on 1240 appeared again down at 890, though attenuated. Local osc. was a #27 triode. Push-pull 71A triodes for output.
