I just picked up this Mitchell  model 1283 "ToneAlarm" AM tube clock radio for $10 at the flea market.  The clock runs and the radio chassis needs new capacitors.  The cabinet has some rough scratches on top; but, I think I can polish it enough to make it look OK.  I assume the number "8254" that is stamped on the back is a date code for the 82nd day of 1954.  BTW, this is a standard AA5 chassis, using tube types 12BE6, 12BA6, 12AV6, 50C5, 35W4.
