1984 Emerson clock TV/radio

What better way to be woken up on another moody Manitoba morning than with this neat little Emerson clock TV? You can even Snooze it. And if there's nothing good to watch, it also has a built-in AM/FM radio, with an especially excellent AM tuner. Model BCR 45, from 1984.

Its an interesting idea but god it that unit ugly! You have to have a table large enough by your bed to accommodate it.

[vwestlife]

It is actually very small. Remember, its TV screen is only 5 inches diagonal.

Stupid question but would it be possible to hook up one of those to a digital to analog converter box?

[vwestlife]

Yes. ANY kind of TV can be used with a converter box.

damn it 7:15

[vwestlife]

I wasn't going to include that clip at the end, but the "Moody Manitoba Morning" song was just too cool to leave out!

[jebug29]

I want one of those and I want there to be analog TV again and I wanna be able to make my own analog station, cause it would just be cool. lolz

[kolossaeis]

I'm a chicken man... Nice gadget my friend!

[JDTV1995]

@SpaceOtterAmbassador yes use the rf output on the converter box and get an adapter so you can plug it in to the external antenna port

The TV program in 1:46 is called "Wheel of Fortune" :)

Good video

@thedarkone2134 Ah, sorry -- my USA centric mind didn't remember that Canada is still broadcasting analog. ;-)

@informant007

Unless you live in Canada (like me), or live close to the Canadian border.

I have a similar unit from Onwa Electronics. I recently hooked my Gamecube up to it and played some Mario Kart on it.
