Silvertone Model 6402

Silvertone Model 6402

This is the 1940 Silvertone model 6402.  A four-tube midget set, it was made by Detrola for Sears and, except for the case, is similar to the Detrola Junior model.  It has a more modern chassis, and no longer uses the dreaded resistor line cord.  The radio shown has a brown Bakelite case; It was also available with a white painted finish  The volume knob on the pictured radio is probably incorrect.

This radio was featured in the Durez Plastics and Chemicals advertisement that appeared in the March, 1940 issue of "Fortune" magazine.
