DESCRIPTION: Tabletop antique 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 vintage 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 retro radio 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, or missing plastic. No cracks on top. No major scratches. This radio is over 55 years old! This clock radio is in MINT condition! The knobs are in excellent condition. The clear dial face is clear and no stress cracks.
