Hey ~ So yesterday I was at an antique shop and I found this radio: http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w282/one_mo_time/Backgrounds/IMG_0624.jpg I'm just around to buying a new alarm clock and generally seem to be a huge fan of the funky stuff of the year and when I saw this I started getting 'exciting. I was shooting it out of the lady and I have noted above, it will have seemed to be within 100% mint, no scratches or marks on it at all ... it was all good ... Then we entered and we a minute to warm up and we snapped over the radio and the clock operating at full speed in perfect state ... As I calculated, at least it worked and the alarm went off when we played around with it that I would have gone ahead and would have received if and when i didn 't the Gradica I' d just elasticity to a friend or something ... Funny This morning I set 2 alarms and it is off and the other one (which is newer) is not gone never out of ... lol I'm wondering if anyone knows the model or the year that this is out? I 'the VE has seen here online and can' t seem to find anything similar to it ... the only thing I know about is the following: On a tube amps Motorola says on the front. not a whole lot of turn, but I was calculated for $ 35 I 'd probably be right ... but anyone who remembers or knows that these years may be starting? Thanks didn 'sorry; t get back, i' m not quite sure how all this works because this is the first time i 'the VE has never asked anything on here lol ... I haven 't, however, removed any backplanes because I don' t know what i 'm who acts in this way, 'the VE that is waiting for my dad to get home. I had seen that radio as soon as today and it was one that could only be found but it was a matter of hours and it is in the currency was horrible i didn 't know exactly what to go out ... lol by.

Look up Motorola and see what year they were founded. Take it from there.
Yes, I recognize it. You made a great buy. I can give you a year range if you will identify the tubes in it. Maybe it will have a 35Z5 and a 6AV6, 6BA6, 6BE6, and 50C5. Go look and post a comment, then I will give you a date range.
You didn’t come back, and I have to leave town, so I will guess this a model A26 or A27, and was built in 1958. You might enjoy watching one like it sell on ebay at the link below. It makes yours look real good.
Have you taken the back cover off to look inside for any model numbers or dates that could be stamped?
I agree with Ron as to about when it was manufactured. It is more than likely an “all american five”. Meaning five tubes. Interesting enough I could find no mention of it at Wiki. [ The all American five tube radio set as opposed to the German three tube set mass produced by Hitler during WWII. The radio only had three tubes and much less receiver power compared the the five tube sets. This was supposedly to stop the German people from hearing news outside Germany and to only allow them to receive government propaganda. ] Be careful there are dangerous voltages and currents inside after plugging it in to the wall socket. No telling what it is worth …
