It looks nice. I suppose the Cosmic Eye was an automatic brightness control.
Not to hijack the thread, but here are some beautiful Deco/Moderne Sparton radios from the Thirties.
The first one has a cloisonné front; the next two are called the Bluebird model and have mirrored glass. Unfortunately they sell for thousands now, and they're just AM radios!

Indeed, they are eye-catching designs, and so is the "Sled" model in cobalt blue glass.
But your right, they are simple AM radios.
It's all about superficiality, looks.. which humans are known for.
