I still use my ICF-C240. My mom got it for me before I started highschool, not sure exactly when, but I must have been about 9 or 10 years old, so maybe the mid to late 80s? Absolutely love the thing. Keeps great time. Nice red display that's easy to read when it's dark or light, and not too bright. It's perfect.

About 10 years ago I bought a brand new C218 (not sure what's with the earlier model number) so my wife and I can both have a clock on our night stands. I hate it. The clock skews by like 10 minutes every year or two. And the display is this ugly bright green that keeps me up at night. I had to buy one of those darkening stickers, and now it's too dark to read in the daytime. Junk.
