I would honestly avoid clock radios. To get started you want a bare bones 5 tube radio without a clock mechanism complicating things. My first project was a basic mid-50s Motorola radio that I got for <$20 on eBay. I have some pictures of it in an album in my profile if you want to see.
The funny thing is I moved on to TVs, but nowadays I’m mostly back to radios. They’re less work and take up less space.
Have fun.
