I had one of these when I was a teen! Granted, it wasn't originally mine, but I found it in my grandfather's shed in the early 1990's and I kept it on my nightstand for years. It worked too (I might have replaced the vacuum tubes originally...I don't remember now) and the thing got uncomfortably hot.
It had an "alarm clock" feature which would turn on the radio at the time the connection for the alarm would happen. But I was always too nervous to use it because I was afraid the house would burn down if I left it unattended.
Edit: Also, I don't know if it was the tubes or the internal speaker, but the damn thing was LOUD.
