Cool 1980s panasonic alarm clock find

i work at a retirement facility, and as you would imagine you find all kinds of neat stuff in the trash. today i came across a 1980s Panasonic rc-300 alarm-clock radio. it still has the stickers on it! works ok, but i cant get the time to set.

I've had a couple of that model or a similar one; they work pretty well for what they are. If you can get inside, try blowing out the dust under the clock buttons with canned compressed air.

The clock might need some deoxit on the buttons. It did wonders for my mom's old digital alarm clock.
