Clock and alarm work just fine - radio is stone dead - maybe I'll eventually find time to give it a look see adn figure out why the radio doesn't work.
A lot of those had a surge resistor that would open, often due to a shorted rectifier diode.

I too am one that will spend time bringing something back to life that most people, including collectors, would throw away. To put it another way, I'm the guy who wants what everyone else thinks is garbage.
