Trying to find a radio
 
Check out this pic. Now, imagine if you were to take a hacksaw, and cut off
the speaker enclosure, and make the base fit what is left. Now, put a tiny
oval speaker, down firing into the base. That's the one I'm looking for.
It's a Sears four transistor clock radio, about 4" wide. It tapers in
slightly from the bottom up on the front and back. Anyone know the one I'm
talking about?

Is it battery only?

No, the one I'm looking for is AC only. IIRC, it uses a special electric
clock movement, where the coil for the motor has a secondary winding that
provides power for the radio.

Did you try google? When I used the terms:

sears transistor "clock radio"

many possibilities showed up under the Silvertone brand circa 1960's.
Lot of eBay listings. Might be worth a look. One sight indicates the
Sears transistor stuff from this era is in Photofacts too. Just with a
quick check I found so many models/pictures of vintage Sears clock
radios I couldn't hazard a guess as to which one is close to what you
are looking for.
