Took a look at the set tonight, and it is one of the most intersting clock raidos I have seen.

The set is a high quality set, with a big steel chassis that has a bottom plate, a phono input, the tubes have an intersting shield around them, which hides the intersting tube sockets which remind me of Zenith's "Service Saver" Chassis they used in their 60s TV sets. My favorite feature of the set is that the Clock's wires can be unplugged from the chassis, a great feature when trying to service the set, and you don't end pulling the wires out of the clock.
This is also the only clock radio I've seen with a date on the clock, a nice feature, when you want to know what day you are waking up to.

Looking under the chassis, this set was serviced at some point, the filters were replaced (which are now bad again), there are also two new Orange Drop caps in the set. It is a nice thought that somebody would actually think to service a little clock radio, something we would never seen today.
