older LED clock radios

[Findm-Keepm]

I've got a GE I purchased in 1985 with dual alarms, slide rule AM/FM tuning, battery backup and a dimmer switch for the LEDs. It's been running on the same bedside table for 21 years without a single problem. The dual alarms came in handy when I was in the Navy - I used to have to call just after midnite to check back in off of leave, and then I had to get up at 5 to go back to work - problem solved with two alarms.

When the power goes out, the clock gains a few minutes, so you'd get up early, but other than that, a solid performer. Saved my a$$ 1 week after purchase in '85 during Hurricane Gloria - it went off early, and I made muster, only to find out I was the only one on-time that morning. I got to go home while others went around picking up limbs and debris.

Cheers,
