Ocean Turquoise Seafoam 1959 Electrohome Model 5C-18 AM Tube Clock Radio Totally Restored!

DESCRIPTION: Rare and beautiful turquoise Electrohome vintage radio with push buttons that work! Reminds me of the push button transmissions of the era like in a 1960 Dodge Dart Phoenix. Tabletop tube AM radio manufactured by Electrohome of Canada in 1959 in excellent working condition. No cracks, or major scratches. One of the bottom feet has a chip on the front corner. The radio sits level despite this. The cabinet is in excellent condition. Picks up AM stations clearly and loudly up and down the dial without need of external antenna attachment. Cabinet is original factory molded glossy turquoise color. Slight yellowing due to sun exposure on top and right side. No exterior repairs or repaints. None needed. This radio is over 60 years old! All the dial numbering is crisp and clear. The clock face is original no rust no stains. Clock face jumps out with Sputnik early space age coolness! Clock and tuning face clear cover has hairline crack not yellowed no haziness. No missing knobs. Knobs are original and securely fastened not cracked not missing gold metal center cap. The tuning dial works fine. Tuning pointer has a cute little red ball! The clock works and keep accurate time. Clock motor is silent no humming grinding noises or ticking. The push buttons are securely attached and don't pop off. The push buttons return to same level position. Push buttons are slightly yellowed with age. The alarm works. The buzzer works. The clock and alarm set function work. All paper and wax capacitors have been replaced with high quality modern equivalents so this radio has another 50+ years or more of playing time! The tubes are working fine. All out-of-spec resistors have been replaced with modern correct value and voltage equivalents. There is no loud or pervasive hum. There is no loud or pervasive static between stations. The set has been aligned according to factory specifications. The power cord and plug are good original working condition with no cracks, or splits. Bottom factory labels are mostly intact and legible yellowed with age. No exposed wiring.
