I can’t find a model number anywhere on the outside. Is rather dusty from years of being in a basement, but I didn’t want to try cleaning with anything harsh for fear of damaging the Bakelite. The knob on the left doesn’t seem to do anything but is supposed to select between MS and RS. Measures 7 inches wide, 4 inches deep, 4.5 inches tall.
The clock radio is extremely clean, with no cracks in the plastic case. The clock keeps perfect time. The radio when turned on has a loud hum. All the tubes light up, which makes me believe that the resistors need replaced. Superheterodyne (common); ZF/IF 455 kHz; 2 AF stage(s). Power type and voltage. Alternating Current supply (AC) / 60 Hz, 117V = 110 -120 Volt. Permanent Magnet Dynamic (PDyn) Loudspeaker (moving coil) / Ø 4 inch = 10.2 cm. Plastics (no bakelite or catalin).
