  • Notes

  • The Motorola TC7BH is an AC operated 10 transistor AM/FM clock radio. AM Tuning Range: 535 to 1620 kHz, FM Tuning Range: 88 to 108 MHz. Has Qty(1) PM 6" speaker and built-in AM ferrite antenna. Uses line cord as FM antenna with provisions for connecting an external FM antenna.  Has automatic radio turn-on feature and delayed radio shut-off feature. Cabinet color is Antique White.

    Clock has "Visilite" feature, which consists of two clock faces, one which is seen in daylight, the other seen at night.  Located in the center area of the dial face is a translucent ring which has opaque numerals super-imposed on its back side.  Located behind this center area is a plastic disc which is edge lit by a neon lamp.  The ring and numerals cannot be seen in daylight.  At night, however, the neon-lit plastic disc causes the translucent ring to glow softly and since the clock numerals and hands are silhoutted against it, the time is clearly visible.

    The following models use the same schematic and cabinet but have different cabinet colors:

    Model Number Cabinet Color
    TC7BH Antique White
    TC7BN Charcoal Brown
    TC7BU Beige
