I have a question I have 2 of these one a flip ones a rollover the flip has a weak light but the casing is like brand new the rollover is beat to hell the motor died a while back :( but the light is wonderful could I combine these 2 clocks 2 make one revolving working clock?
hey i have that exact same one with practically no scratches, it was even refurburished once judging by the sticker, but my light burnt out. its a neon light they go bad but you can get new ones offa the home depot or ebay they run 120v light
@barrybob32 hey i just replaced the light in mine. instead of using an ne-2 neon bulb i used a radioshack jumbo panel mount neon lamp assembly. its amber colored i believe. seems to work great all i did was wrap teh wires together. than i coverd it up with tape, make sure if you replace the bulb you peel off the reflective tape thats originally on it so you can put it back on.
HAHAHA that's my clock! =D well i have a clock of the same model. my light doesn't work anymore although it may flicker every once in a while.. my radio doesn't work on FM either.. just AM. interesting though :)
I have a flip-digit model that looks very similar (but w/ an illuminated radio dial). I did replace the clock lamp in mine. An NE-2 neon bulb from RadioShack, a quick bit of soldering & it was as good as new. The old bulb still worked but was very blackened (hence it was very dim like yours).
Trance88 can you tell me a model number of a am fm clock radio made by General electric its on my page look up Vintage GE AM/FM alarm clock radio on here
Oh yeah? I actually saw an alarm clock almost identical to this one at a different goodwill. It had flip down numbers. I would have gotten that one but the clock part was broken too.
Use an orange LED light for the clock part.
Just a suggestion.

@zakarylakota I don't see why not. I would think they both use the same light bulb.

Any hints on how to take this apart? I'm stuck at the dial for the digits; does it just pull straight out? I don't want to break it. Thx

@joejoethedogfaceboy Yes, it pulls straight out. It's a little tougher than the other knobs to take off.

the flip digits, do not give even time, they have to be adjusted now and then, and eventually fail to work after a while.

I have the same model. The clock was taken out many years ago because the motor was getting very noisy. But the radio part still works fine!

I love it! Sounds great :)
That is a neon bulb in there... a new one should remedy that problem of it being too dim.
