DESCRIPTION: Not to be out done by its rival NBC,CBS jumped into the market by relabeling products by Traveler and Truetone in the late fifties early sixties. Rare odd original color combination. Embodies all the design quirks of the Jetsons, atomic age, space race era. So wacky! So kitschy! 50's gaud at its finest! Look at the crazy color combination. This is an original factory color combo as conceived by either a color blind or overly romantic colorist in CBS marketing department. I know it's original and not a hybrid mutt because I've seen others like it. Tabletop Tube AM clock radio alarm manufactured by CBS in 1960 or 1961 timeframe in excellent+ working condition. Picks up AM stations clearly and loudly up and down the dial without need of external antenna attachment. The clock seems to keep good time. Put it this way: it's not digital. Cabinet is in excellent condition with no cracks, splits, or missing plastic. No cracks on top. This radio is over 50 years old! No missing labels. The knobs are in excellent condition. The clear dial face has no cracks. The gold surround trim is in near mint condition. The lettering on the tuning dial is crisp and intact. The tuning dial works fine and smooth no slipping. All paper and wax capacitors have been replaced with modern equivalents so this radio has another 50+ years or more of playing time!
