It appears I've never asked about this ol' radio

[mhardy6647]

In this forum (at least, I can find no evidence that I have).
Found this at the dump last year (IIRC). It is a "Howard". There is a little information on-line about Howard (no great shakes, apparently) but I didn't see anything like this one. I know it's transformerless, with (even worse) a "resistor wire" power cord!

Any thoughts/insight to share?





Then again, there's always the question of what would've/could've/should've been behind the glass? :-)





Thanks for your attention!

Possibly a Clock ? I guess you'd hafta set it from the back...

I'd have to say a clock also, most likely a Telechron movement.

That would have been a nice looking radio with the clock on the side. Now you will have to be inventive and put something interesting there.

I've seen this radio in a query some time this past year, whether it was here or on another forum I don't know. It seems to me that the concensus was indeed a clock. If you check the chassis there may be a clue as to where the clock was connected.

Another way to do it, besides using a Telechron movement, would be to purchase a cheap quartz movement from a hobby shop and make your own clock, running from an AA cell. You could design a clock face in a graphics program to mimic the design of the radio dial and print it out on photo paper.
