chief engineer for KBSU radio recently go through it but there is still a =
little bit of 60hz hum at low volume. I could use a good tune up as I am =
not sure he peaked it while it was in his shop. I have an old Philco 5 =
tube I want him to work on as it is one of the bvest sounding am tabletop =
radios I have heard. It used to be my parent's alarm clock with an ac =
outlet in back for the coffee pot too.

face which I hope to restore some day as the radio does not work but the =
clock keeps on ticking. I wish I could say the same for the previous =
radio. It has a bit of hum but no clock anymore. I do recall using it to =
turn on a light in the morning as a secondary alarm for me while in high =
school All of this pales in comparison to the Magnavox hifi radio am sw =
