Key Features:

• Classic Design: The RCA Victor RJD12N features a sleek ivory plastic case with a rounded, mid-century modern look. The front grille and clear tuning window add to its vintage charm, while the RCA Victor branding proudly displays its heritage.

• Working AM Radio: This superheterodyne AM radio (540–1600 kHz) powers on and plays beautifully. Tune in to your favorite stations using the right-side knob, with a clear needle indicator to find the perfect signal. The sound is crisp and clear through the built-in speaker, ideal for AM broadcasts like news or talk radio.

• Analog Clock with Alarm: The analog clock keeps time accurately and features a functional alarm. Set the alarm to wake up to your chosen station using the “AUTO” setting on the volume knob. The clock face is simple and easy to read, with black numerals and a red second hand for a pop of color.

• Controls: Includes an “ON,” “OFF,” and “AUTO” switch for the radio and alarm, plus a tuning knob for station selection. Everything operates smoothly, just as it did decades ago.

• Vintage Technology: Powered by vacuum tubes (12BA6, 12AV6, 12BE6, 35W4, 50C5), this radio delivers that warm, authentic sound only tube radios can provide. It runs on 110–120V AC, 60 Hz, with a power consumption of 35 watts.

Condition: This RCA Victor RJD12N is in great working condition for its age. The radio powers on, tunes stations, and plays without issues, and the alarm function works as intended. The ivory case has a slight cosmetic crack on the top edge (see photos), but this does not affect functionality and adds to its vintage character. The plastic shows some minor signs of wear consistent with age, such as light scuffs, but overall, it’s in solid shape. The clock face is clean, and the tuning window is clear, making this a display-worthy piece.

Historical Appeal: Manufactured by RCA Victor’s Radio Home Instruments Division in Indianapolis, Indiana, this clock radio is a true piece of American history. RCA Victor was a leading name in electronics during the mid-20th century, and the RJD12N reflects their commitment to quality and innovation. Clock radios like this were a staple in 1950s households, often used to wake up to morning broadcasts or big band music. The ivory color was a popular choice, complementing the pastel decor trends of the era.
