Vintage Alarm Clock Radios

[sramirez2008]

I know I can’t be the only one, so please share your clock radios. Mine sat in its box for years before I finally put together my Atari room.

Cool stuff overall. Like the "Asteroids" poster.

Thanks. It’s from the Art of Atari Poster Collection. It’s the artwork for the 7800 version. My favorite Asteroids artwork is the 5200’s. I have a custom cart and box with that artwork, as well as, poster art.

Oh god, this is so embarrassing, but I'll share anyway.  Let me preface by saying that I refuse to keep my phone next to my bed as a clock/alarm because after years of being "on-call" at work, I refuse to do that ever again.  Even in "do not disturb" mode.  So without a phone, I have myself a pretty sweet atomic clock radio on the bottom.  It always has the right time and I never have to touch it.  I also am able to set & forget alarms.  It is set to go off M-F and not on the weekends.  So it is perfect except....I can't see the dang thing at night or from across the room.  What time is it?  I don't know!  So that's why I've got old reliable up top.  The clock/radio I've used since college.  Works like a champ, and has the full keypad up top to set the time and alarms.  But I only use it for the time. 

And the second pic is from the one in my game room, performing a similar function as your initial post.  It looks cool in a retro gaming room.

And your flip-number clock is SWEET!  I've had my eye out for one of those for years, but they are kind of hard to find!

Thanks. They are hard to find. Fortunately, this one was NIB and I came across it at just the right time. I’ve had my room setup for nearly 2 years now, but the clock sat around for about 5 years prior.

I don't have any of those clocks anymore.  My mom has one or two at her house, though.  Hers have the digital red numbers.  It's been a while since I've seen the one with the numbers that flip! 

[sramirez2008]

The digital red numbered clocks are cool too. I had one that I took with me to college. Not sure what happened to it after that.

The only place I have clock radios is in the bedroom.  The first one pictured is my oldest, around 10 years old now, it was to replace an even older model with the flip style.

This second one is my primary, yeah, I have backups on alarm clocks too, not just TI computers.  OCD?

This third one is a alarm clock, but not radio, it's my backup to my backup.

Oooops, forgot one...

[TrekMD]

This is the closest thing I have to a traditional clock.  And it is a smart clock!

Want to go "olde Skool" for ONLY $15.00?  << amazon link >>  (It's of dubious quality though) so you'll be rolling the dice.
