It is a 12 tube set with four-45s for the output, driven by a 6C5 AF and a 6C5 inverter. I just got it working last night at midnight, and all I can say is that it is very impressive. It has the variable IF combined with a low-note pot control and an on/off sensitivity control.
Not sure about Sears actually buying out Colonial, but they did work very closely with them. Yuiry, at his Silvertone web site, would have the answer. He is a Silvertone expert. If any of you have not been there, I strongly recommend it.
The fellow that had it was not a radio guy, so I think the 45 globe was just there. The set will play if one 45 is inop, as they are arranged in a parallel push-pull arrangement.
Silvertone 45A tubes put out more power than the regular 45. The ones that I have seen are also larger than a 45.
