I don't suppose you could post a larger image? Can't it be up to 900x900 pixels?

If you do, focus from a closer point, if your camera permits, and also turn the face of the radio to the light. It is all in shadow.

From what little I can see, the buttons on the top make me wonder if it is a clock radio.

Have you plugged it in?
Does it work?
Does the panel in the back have vent holes that let you see lighted tubes? The smallest tubes were about 1 1/2 inches tall. Except for the shielded ones, all gave off some yellowish or orangish light and got hot.

Many early transistor portable and table (plug in) models said right on the front plates (or sometimes on the back) something like "solid-state" or even said how many transisters were in them. It was a big deal to get your first 10-transistor portable, you could look down on all those other kids in high-school who only had 6-transistors!
