Those are neat!

I have a GE one that cost me $5 at the swap meet...and has NOTHING wrong with it. I like it in the bed's headboard cabinet because of it's button on top for "sleep". You touch it once and the set will run for 59 minutes. Nice when I don't feel like bringing up a big LCD set in the bedroom. Also nice for listening to AM talk radio and it doesn't stay on ALL night. I have a Magnavox one that took a little cleaning to get going...but also works and looks nice now. Both are 4" B/W sets. The GE is a blue LED and the Maggie is a blue VFD. Both get PHENOMENAL AM reception for some reason....and I can listen to KFI (am) from Los Angeles...in San Diego.

I love Clock/radio TV sets. They are by definition "daily drivers"...and I love having sets that still have some task to fulfill :-)
