My wife brought this home from a yard-sale.

"Old clock radio with tubes FREE"

Motorola 62CW(1). Veneer case in good condition, slight crazing. Dust on knobs and behind face plate (which is plastic not glass).Looks good.

Usually I expect a 1952 radio will have a perished power-cord; this was in fine safe condition. So I put it in the driveway with a switch so I could turn it on from a few feet away, in case the filter cap burst. Hmmm. It humed very very low.

I fiddled the too many switches for the clock function, discovered I was turning the Tone not the Volume, and got static. I dialed down the band and got WBZ, Boston, as good as could be expected, since WBZ is hundreds of miles away! I came up the band and got the local 5KW AM station in really great quality.

The tuning cord stuck at 1500KC so I took the chassis out. When you try this, be sure the clock hands are all horizontal so they do not foul the rectangular cut-out.

The insides are in beautiful condition. Almost no dust inside. One wax-cap is oozing wax, others look fine. Several tubes are Motorola, probably original; two are RCA so vintage replacements. Dial-lamp is burned-out and an odd 117V bayonet type.

I've had it playing several hours now.  YouTube video, 29 seconds  You can hear the tone change as the camera moves near the speaker; I didn't fake this.

No sign of stress. Drifts a bit in the first 30 minutes; I remember most AM tube radios did when new.

Circuit shows an RF stage, a deluxe feature, and explains why it pulled WBZ so clearly despite distance and the racket on the power lines in my town.
