I found this and for some odd reason bot it. It was not 1800 BIN!

It is a weird radio, tuning on the side, NO LABELS or #'s. Even in the battery compartment. Maybe a decal fell off. It has a circle label saying IC Circuit, on bottom say 'neighborhood Friendly" meets FCC requirements. No item number means I can't really find any info. Sears Corporate site says silvertone went away in 1972. The speaker is about 5x7 and is on the side opposite the control knobs, takes 6 D battery, sounds quite good. FM is really nice.

Is it missing a label, a prototype, an oddball?

Ever see one? Seller got it in Chicago.

Thanks for any info. Icon_smile
