Congratulations Jayce!

That is indeed a rare model. GE's top of the line for 1938. The clock timer allows you to set a start time, go to a preselected station listen for however long you want, in 15 minute increments. It will then change stations automatically and even turn itself off when you want.

I found one of these three years ago in the next town over. I have recapped it, and resleeved a ton of the disintegrating rubber wire. I have a problem now that I have obviously created. The set did play when I got it, but now my rectifier glows bright red, so I must have a cap in backwards.

The other thing with mine is the clock timer assembly with not operate properly. I believe the brass rod is slightly bent and stops the clock when the rod tries to move along the rod.

When I got mine there was only ONE picture of this model on the internet.
I have since uploaded pics to RM.

If I can supply any pics you may need PM me and I'll see what I can do for you.

Gene
