Cavalcade of Cordless Transistor Clock Radios--1950s Admiral Model 822

Fairly rare item--what they called a "cordless" transistor clock radio.

This model comes complete with its original box and is in that late 1950s
Coral color.

I restored this set a few years back, even redid and re-oiled the Westclox battery movement.

Uses four AA batteries for the radio, a single C cell for the clock movement.

A small wind up alarm clock integrated into a radio with a switch on the clock. I remember taking an old clock out of a clock radio and connecting it up to a plug socket to turn things on and off. My folks had a tube GE AM-FM table model that had an outlet on the back for a coffee maker. The prob was 12 hours, you had to set it every night. But with a wind up, that went with winding it up at bedtime, then set the alarm to on. Good Night!

Wow, thatz the most coolest battery-operated clock radio I ever saw so far! It appears to be wireless since I didn't see any wires inside, but I could be wrong, LOL!

If that was avocado green, Spatzbear would kill for it because it came out of the original box and it appears to mint too although iz not from 1972, LOL!
