A very basic but high quality Philco "All American Five" vacuum tube clock radio from 1965, made when they were a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company. It has all the original components, and still works perfectly to this day.

Correction: The rectifier tube is actually a 35W4, not 15W4 as I said in the video. The tube diagram was poorly printed so it was difficult to read.
