Good times.

These times too. This is not a boat anchor story but my old clock
radio was getting hard to set. I did fix it once but I recall I
paid $10-$15 for it, a while ago, 20 years maybe.

Big spender that I am, I was in "Big Lots" and saw a GE AM/FM/CD
clock radio, model 7-4901. $29.95. This is a great clock radio.

It comes with the time preset and backed up by 2 AA cells. One
slide switch sets the time zone, a button toggles day light savings
time on and off. Two of the biggest headaches of digital clocks
solved. If you have to set the clock, there is a forward and
BACKWARDS time set button. You don't have to go all the way around.

Two side firing speakers. I'm not an audio nutcase. I know that
monster wire is a scam and toob audio loonies are nuts. The sound
is GOOD.

Half my boat anchors are solid state, SB-303, Signal/One CX7A, and
half are tubes, 75S-1, SB-102. Give me better than 1 uV sensitivity
and 2.1 kHz filter and 1 kHz read out and I'm happy.
