Today is one of the moving days into a new home and I'm too tired to 
remember exactly what AM/FM tube radio that I have to restore. They 
called them the 'owls' due to the twin dials on the face. I want to say 
Magnavox. Anyway, this is the biggest they made with a clock alarm radio 
on one side, and the tuning dial on the other. Deep burgundy with gold 
trim and grill, and spotless after cleaning and waxing. I have another 
semi junk unit that I've swapped parts to get the clock working again. 
Yippee on that job as old clocks have a low survival rate. I need to 
track down whatever is dead inside. I have either the Sam's or Rider's 
but my units both have a lot of factory mods to the design. I'll get 
that one on the bench when I move and get serious on getting it to work 
as my bedside radio. It's fairly big.
