I remember those clock radios - My shop contracted with Yorx & LLoyds,
and we use to get skids of these things in under warranty. Very common was a bad
clock chip, or bad solder connections. A lot of the bad connections were on the clock
board. And of the clock problems were the long ribbon type flex thing that ran to the
display. We did not see many bad displays. You have to turn it on with the clock
in your hand, & flex it in your hand - that will most likely show you if it's bad
connections. If you think you have a bad display you can jump one display
segment to another just to test. If I remember right, those clock chips
did not multiplex the digets.
I also have to say that while Soundesign was no Panasonic, they did
make pretty good stuff back in the 70's I had a few of their radios
& they were much better than Yorx & LLoyds.
