DESCRIPTION: Tabletop Tube AM clock radio alarm manufactured by Motorola in 1956 excellent+ working condition with MP3 ready conversion. Tabletop Tube AM clock radio alarm manufactured by Motorola in 1956-57 excellent+ working condition. Picks up AM stations clearly and loudly up and down the dial without need of external antenna attachment. Cabinet is in good condition. There is a  crack on the left side. No crack on top! Amazing. No other cracks, repairs, or repaints of any kind. This radio is over 50 years old!  Motorola label on front speaker grill is original. The yellowed knobs are in excellent condition. No missing little clock or alarm set knobs. Amazing. The clear dial face has a crack under the left knob. The clock face is gold metal finish with no tarnishing or greening. Please see the photo close-up. 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. There is a appliance timer function in back. I'll bet it works if the alarm function works, but I cannot think of a good reason to use it nowadays. Pretty superfluous function even back in the fifties. The tubes are working fine. All out-of-spec resistors have been replaced with modern correct value and voltage equivalents. There is no loud or pervasive hum. There is no loud or pervasive static between stations unless you operate near modern megahertz devices. The set has been aligned according to factory specifications. Backing board is in good condition with crisp square corners. The upper right top corner is missing where the original power cord was interconnected to the pin connectors. The power cord and plug are a new replacement and in good original working condition with no cracks, or splits. No exposed wiring. The radio has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected. All wiring has been thoroughly checked for possible bridging and weak solder connection. Comes from non-smoking, mature, clean professional environment no pets. When this radio was new, tailfins were all the rage! This thing belongs in a museum!
