Man, I miss S&H green stamps! Once, I was so broke and about three weeks from my piddly commission check, no food in the house and I remembered Green stamps could be turned in for $3.00 per book and I had a box with them just crammed in. I walked to the store, got a whole bunch of books and filled 25 of them, cashed them in and was able to eat!!

My wife had it when I met her. That was 1986. I think she bought it in 1976? Still works!!

The fact that it advertises on the front that it is solid state tells you it’s super old!

I want to believe this clock is what Groundhog Day (the movie) was loosely about. This alarm clock with the same sound waking him up to the same day to the same routine and monotony, and then something gives him purpose (a lady) and the sound of the alarm (I got you babe) was just a subtle foreshadowing of what would break him out of his cycle of basically a net zero for the day. Or maybe this edible was a little stronger than I gave it credit for

I love these old alarm clocks. I have an under the cabinet radio in the kitchen that came with the house. It must be twice my age 🤣

Give it a good brushing all over with a soft brush to get all that dust off it. Vacuuming out those open slots would be a good idea too.
