Ah, I recognize such a scene, I recall staring at such as a teenager, (ah, in mid 1960s such a radio was not not as old-ancient as is now) thinking how can these things be put together to do what they do??
Looking at the pic reminds me of feeling the heat on my face, hearing the humming, smelling the stuff heating up.
The SilverTone unit we had, had a schematic on the back cover, I recall staring at that for long time too, thinking how can "that" (the schematic) be "that" (the devices). ... and slowly figuring out a little by little.
ANyway, more I can say about all this, but for now, will just say; it was a significant thing for me. I still have the glass legend that has the various bands.

Dave, one of my beat up console models at my parents place is a Silvertone. That one was DOA when it was given to me. When it was powered up the rectifier tube began arcing. With that tube removed, I began taking some electrical readings on various components and measured nearly 500 volts at one spot. I figured it would be smart to stop until I learned more about it. I have yet to do so....
On one of the tubes in the pic a part of the Silvertone logo can be seen.

Don, That requires some description.
Or, at least I would benefit from such.

That's quite a contrast between those two pictures.

After being basically house bound for the last week with a cold I finally got out for a nice 1 hour ski in some fresh new snow.



Looking south into the fog covered valley below.



Looking east to the Rockies across the Kootenay River valley from the same viewpoint.

Looks like a Bob Ross painting.

Yes indeed. Great shots, Sandy. Suitable for framing.

Not much to report, Dave. A 35mm slide taken on a beach in northeast Florida in May, 1978 and digitized in a batch by Scan Cafe a few years back. Posed shot.

Thanks for the kudos folks. Always enjoy this thread even though I don't put much in here. Nice to see such a bunch of high quality images here and to see the difference styles and preferences of subject matter posted.
