A clock radio for the workshop!

Elton John - Song For Guy. A top song of the 70's. Absolute wonderful!

So the clock for the workshop has its own time settings Ha Ha.

What IC is on the clock board ?

If the clock really doesn't work, you could place a nice little rds-decoder like

the mictronics-project instead of it :-)

That is a very strange clock! I think it is trying to show other things than just the time, such as the date, alarm setting, sleep timer, etc. -- quite confusing to figure out if you don't have the manual.

In the 1970s you could purchase beds with clock radios embedded on the tall side of the box! The available matress sizes extended up to king size!

[Lachlant1984]

I have actually seen a few of those, I haven't seen one like that in years, do you know if any of them are still available today? Are any available in single bed size?

[SlimeTron5000]

I am unsure. They could be no longer sold, and they fell out of the fashion in this decade. However, the parents of my father still sleep in one!

[Lachlant1984]

Look at the size of that capacitor behind the clock, it's big, but then that was the case back then, they needed to be big, of course everything is a lot smaller now. I believe quite a lot of General Electric clock radios were made in Singapore.

It appears to alternate between date and time.

@pcwalker

Yes, I think that's what it's doing.

[MagnusVideos]

Nice find. Btw have you still got your downsized radio receiver in your workshop as a signal source? Thanks.

[DrCassette]

@MagnusVideos

No, I threw the tuner away. Not enough space, still.

you maybe could find a manuel for that clock radio on the internet
