Here is an interesting beast. A National Panasonic 7052B from around 1970. This was made in the era when having a detachable transistor radio was a popular accessory. It has a quite a large display and the unit as a whole is very heavy. The AM/FM transistor radio runs off 4 AA batteries when not connected to the clock. It needs a thorough cleaning but is in basically good condition. Please ignore my reflection in the face plate - that's not part of the display.

Those are really cool and quite rare here in the US. I have the bottom half of one which was re-branded by Singer (the sewing machine company). It has the same clock movement internals as the RC-7589 with a few layout changes for switches.

The unit I have is illuminated the same way as the RC-7589 which was a 6v incandescent lamp. Perhaps they put in neons for European/overseas units?
