DESCRIPTION: This smart little clock radio is not afraid to talk back to you! Tabletop Tube AM clock radio alarm manufactured by Motorola in 1957 excellent+ working condition. 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 splits, chips, or missing material. There is a small 1-2" blemish that is a result of heat deformation and yellowing on top. Top and back is slightly but evenly more yellowed than the bottom, as if the radio spent much of its life on a sunny window sill. If seen several examples of this particular model and the back has been yellow-ish ivory in all examples. Maybe the ivory color yellowed on the model more than others. Maybe it came from the factory as a very yellow-ish ivory. This radio is over 50 years old! No missing labels. The knobs are in excellent condition. No missing clock knobs. Amazing. The clear dial face has no cracks. 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.

The clock works and keep accurate time for a mechanical analog design. The clock is reasonably quiet. The alarm works. The buzzer works. The clock and alarm set function work. There is a appliance timer function in back. The tubes are working fine. All out-of-spec resistors have been replaced with modern correct value and voltage equivalents.
