    This radio was one of the largest Silver-Marshall offered for 1932.  It comprises of a model 728 receiver fitted with a Jensen model D-1 speaker (Midrange/Tweeter) and dual Jensen model D-9 bass speakers (Woofers).  The field coils of the dual woofer speakers are powered by a separate power supply that also serves as a L/C crossover for all three speakers.  I acquired this radio, in September 2000, from an auction in Cicero, Indiana.
