The inside of a 1950s AM radio. The backside of the speaker is visible on the right, and the tuner on the left. The rest is a circuit board with two tubes in the foreground and tubes, transformers and resistors scattered around in other positions.

Ok, I had to open it. The radio license sticker says 9 April 1951, but it isn't readable on the photo.
The radio has four tubes, and I'm pretty sure the four devices on a row on the left are the rectifier diodes. (Edit: nope, they're adjustable capacitors.)
It also seems to have 110V mode. 😊
