Ever seen one of THESE !?!?!?

[init4fun]

I'll tell ya , I've collected old radios for a long time . Mostly Cathedrals but pretty much anything vacuum tube equipped . Never , ever , before have I seen a radio such as this , so tell me , have any of you ever seen one of these ?

This is a GE clock/radio that at a first glance didn't seem all that remarkable when I got it . As we all know GE used the "Musiphonic" name in the same way Philco used the "Transitone" name and I have seen dozens of GE Musiphonic radios over the years ...

But this ? No , this is no GE musiphonic , instead it's a "Musitherm" , yes that's right this clock/radio is specifically designed to be wired into your furnace and to provide a nighttime reduction in house temperature while you sleep . Yea sure I've seen programmable thermostats for years too , but never have I seen a freestanding clock/radio intended to be hardwired into an HVAC system . Tube lineup is the standard AA5 7 pin ; 50C5 35W4 12AV6 12BA6 12BE6 .

Any and all comments welcome
