A rediscovered Silvertone
#1

A call from my mom last week saying the bathroom sink wouldn't drain, led to a Saturday in the basement of their home replacing dwv lines for me!!! What fun!! Anyway, a lot of the sets from my early days of collecting reside in that basement. This one was off in a corner all but forgotten until I rediscovered it yesterdayIcon_clap So after cleaning up this morning, I dragged it out of there and brought it home! It's just like getting a new find except I didn't have to pay anything for it!!!!!
It's a Silvertone 4586, a ten tube set which, as I remember, didn't cost me anything back in the late '80s either. My mom found this one sitting by the curb for garbage pick up, so she loaded it up and brought it home for me! This was quite a big deal, as my mom wasn't very fond of my hobby in those daysIcon_lol
So, here it is at it's new home.
