The balanced output stage is driven from a transformer between the preamp and the output stage. The primary of this transformer is grounded and capacitively coupled with the plate of the driver tube.
The radio has a beautiful dial, which holds almost the complete user instruction. With Windows-style pictograms to illustrate the tone control Siera was its time half a century ahead. The pointer itself is supposed to be invisible, but throws its shadow on the dial. Nice idea, but the visibility is marginal.
