  1. I'm pretty sure my parents had the same type of clock radio when I was a kid. I remember how the numbers would flip...always fascinated me.

  5. I seem to remember that type of clock having some advantages over the digital displays of today but, can't remember what they were. Maybe they were easier to set.

  8. According to a close friend of Parent, the clock was never for sale; it was a birthday gift for his kid sister (and a pretty pricey one at that!).
