The Silvertone 1942 (later version) from about 1936 is a large 8 tube superhet tombstone that receives the broadcast band and two short wave bands. It has a large speaker and push-pull 6F6 outputs. It also has a variable bandwidth IF stage that acts as a tone control (it also has a separate normal tone control). The set has a tuned pre-selector on the broadcast band, but has no RF amplifier stage. The set is unusual in that it uses metal-glass tubes, an early and short lived competitor to RCA\'s metal tubes! It appears to have been made by Colonial Radio.
