Is it just a quirk of nostalgia or did everyone's parents/family own this clock radio? I can still see it sitting on my parent's beside table.

This post might be my entry for your Firsthand Darwin awards... Moe killed by Chas shortly thereafter.

I am assuming am/FM radio still exists? Or is everything “streamed” these days? 😡

Nailed it!

I'll have to check if they still have it. I swear I see it every time I'm there, but then again, my dad shaved his moustache off almost 20 years ago and I can't picture him without it lol.

Appreciate it MoeFOH

Yep, had this exact one in the house and this was "hi-tech digital" that replaced the analog/digit clock where every minute the clock would flip to the next digit...memories

Nowadays my alarm on my phone is soft and my wife can't even hear it on her side of the bed. But in my teens and 20s, I needed that loud *ANCK. ANCK. ANCK* to wake me up. It was like "ALRIGHT LAD! IT'S MORNING, TIME TO GO TO WAR!"

And then I would slap that giant snooze button and go right back to sleep 15 times. 

Perfect in the moment, but blood pressure issues surface 30 years later 😆

I hated that alarm.

That thing is to alarm clocks like Nokia was to mobile phones! Those could take a beating and still always worked (user error not withstanding).

    *H-E-E-E-Y!!    You've been in my house!! That exact same radio is sitting on top of the cable box in my living room!

I think I got it when I was 14. Plan on passing down to my children.

Looks like the same one I had many years ago. Just imagine how many of those were sold worldwide.

Yep, my old man had that radio. Pretty sure I still have it somewhere, and it was still working the last time I saw it.

My thoughts exactly... are we looking at the most successful electronic device in history?
