You should make a video on the proper way to clean the switches and controls on a vintage clock radio. I would be forever indebted to you if you would!

I just got one of those Zenith Circle of Sound clock radios-great audio as well

Seems so funny to hear modern songs coming out of a nearly 40 year old radio!

I happen to own two of these old radios I picked them up from a thift store on 11-25-09 and the one of the rca's was dead the other one was barley working but I fully restored them both mine is working great I have one in my bedroom at home and one on my computer desk.
I replaced all caps and new powercord them both and they work again.

That my friend is a very unique clock radio. I'm used to seeing the clock on the left hand side and the radio on the right. And the arrows as the station indicators, one word; WOW!
Thanks for the show and tell.

I uaw to love FLIP CLOCKS when I was a kid lol
so what is AFC mode

AFC is automatic frequency control, it is to help keep the FM tuner from drifting off of the station due to things such as temperature changes in the components.

I am surprised it did not slide off your workbench. Sound really good and it has great reception. Nice radio!

Thanks! I think I had most of its weight on the bench. I had the alligator clip power cord hooked up to test it out.

Looks like something Tucker Madawick's RCA Design Center came up with. I got to interview him before he passed away. Remarkable man...

I have seen some other radios probably from around this time (with the RCA block letter logo) that have a really late 60's style to them, he may have had a part in designing them? It seems like sometime in the maybe mid 70's RCA quit making radios. I see a lot more "RCA Victor" radios than those with the more modern logo on them.
