DESCRIPTION: Tabletop Tube AM clock radio alarm manufactured by RCA Victor in 1956 excellent+ working condition with original rare WHITE clock face. Most RCA 9-C-7LE models come with black clock face. I think the white clock face coordinates better with the color scheme of the rest of the radio. Plus, this clock movement has the red seconds hand which adds a nice color counterpoint to the aqua. That's just my personal opinion. This one is special and hard to come by. So, when it's sold it could be a while before you'll see another one. Quintessential late fifties cove design in contrasting aqua and white colors. Picks up AM stations clearly and loudly up and down the dial without need of external antenna attachment. Cabinet is in excellent condition with no cracks, splits, scratches, or missing plastic. No cracks on top. No major scratches. This radio is over 55 years old! The knobs are in excellent condition. The clear dial face is clear and no stress cracks. The original metal clock knobs are nicer than plastic. The metal knobs are tarnished and pitted from contact with oil and moisture from fingers. Please see the photo close-up. The clock bezel is clear and transparent not yellowing. No missing ink, smudges, or rub-off on clock dial lettering. 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! The clock works and keep accurate time for a mechanical analog design. The alarm works. The buzzer works. The clock and alarm set function work. The tubes are working fine. The dial light works.
