1960 Silvertone 1201, 1959 Silvertone 207:

Left: Silvertone 1201, 5 1/8"H x 3 1/8"W x 1 5/8"D
Right: Silvertone 207, 6 1/4"H x 3"W x 1 5/8"D

A nice pair of electric door chimes from Sears... No, wait, I mean intercom speakers... Oh, now I see -- they're transistor radios!

Generally shunned by Serious Collectors as being dull & dopey looking, yet having a clean & minimal Plain-Jane style much like the Philco T-51 which follows, all three radios deserve a second look, and then a third... Both of these Silvertones are 4-transistor radios.
