Casabella Ivory 1947 Jewel Model 505 Pin-up AM Vacuum Tube Clock Radio For Sale

1947 Jewel Model 505 \"Pin-up\" AM Vacuum Tube Clock Radio in the Casabella Ivory finish.

The Jewel 505 is a fascinating piece of post-war Americana, known for its dual-purpose design and its distinct \"Plaskon\" (urea plastic) cabinet.

• Aesthetics: The \"Casabella Ivory\" model features a glossy ivory urea plastic cabinet with a series of bold vertical grille ribs that dominate the lower half of the front face.

• Clock: It utilizes a Telechron electric clock movement. Interestingly, in this specific model, the clock and radio are independent; the clock does not act as a timer to turn the radio on or off (no alarm or \"wake to music\" function).

• Technical Specs: * Tubes: Typically a 4-tube lineup (12BE6, 12BA6, 12AT6, 50B5).

• Back Panel: You can see the original Masonite back with the keyhole mount for \"pinning\" it to the wall.

• Chassis: The internal photos show the classic \"hot chassis\" design of the late 40s.

• Dial: The red numerals on the clock face are a signature of the 1947 production run.
