Did you have this classic GE clock radio on your nightstand?

[AviatorTom]

General Electric Digital AM/FM Clock Radio (1970s)

In the 1970s, this clock radio was reportedly on "everyone's" nightstand.

Did you have one? Maybe you still have one?

I had this model in the 1980s. It woke me up every weekday morning, playing a local radio station; I often used its Snooze button.

Okay, this question is mainly for older people, but why not?

I never had that one, but i’ve definitely come across similar models many times over many years. It was pretty common in hotel rooms too. My first ever alarm clock was the digital one where the numbers were on flipping tiles. When that died, i got a “Baby Ben” wind up alarm clock and used those exclusively for years. I got the alarm clock i have now when i was working two jobs because it has two alarm settings. I occasionally forgot to change the alarm setting on the other ones and would be late or miss shifts entirely.

Exact model- Right on the night stand in our guest room with a mini-fridge, mini-micro, and a drawer of supplies if guests forget something.

[Massageman]

Thank you.

I just have an alarm clock. My parents might've had one. I never liked being waked up to some song. The Buzz Buzz has always been good enough...

[DishLady]

My goodness. It was actually the family clock radio in the living room till I was old enough to have a tape deck radio in my room.

[ArrowheadSW]

I have one that looks very similar to that one in the picture. When I saw this post, I went over to see what brand it is, and mine is Panasonic. I have had it for a long time but I don't know what year I got it. I've probably had it for 30 years but I don't know.

[TonyMetal___1986]

Never had it, it wasn't sold in my country, back in the late 80's when i was a little kid i remember that we had a radio looking like this but there was no clock or alarm in it...

Yes, when i used to watch movies when i was a kid, the majority of the movies had this clock included in some scenes 🙂

I had this one. It was called a flip clock radio. I had it all through high school and took it with me to college. The radio worked great. I do not know exactly where it came from. I think one of my relatives gave it to me.

Believe it or not, my parents still have and use a very similar one (Morphy Richards) in their bedroom!

[Just_Ken]

I used to. Was one of those electronics that was always lying about homes in theb90s and early 00s. They were so common you could not give one away

[molonski2]

Had.. nearly exactly that worked for years and years , Australian version , it was a golf trophy 80s for sure.

[Ill_made_Knight]

I had one that traveled around with me in my nomadic years. Saw it later gathering dust in my mom's garage.

[spartan55]

I never had this model of clock radio, but many of my friends and family did. I didn't care for the faux wood look.

[SaoirseS]

We have one. It belonged to my husband’s grandfather, he’s pretty attached to it.

[queenofcardio]

My parents did back in the day. I vaguely remember it

[NathanDavis]

no... but if feels like I've seen it everywhere on TV, lol

[Nikki1989]

I have never own one but I still see them around and still working too.

[Lliam]

I had one just like that when I moved out on my own. I used it for years.

[BCRanger10]

Yes, I did have one like that!

[DonaldDarko]

I wouldn't have had any electricity to plug it in.

[LBD04]

No, I use my Alexa; it has a clock and alarm.

[RavVid]

If I wanted vintage, I would want more vintage with luminous hands and a proper bell.

[LiamS95]

Now I just use my phone, if I decide to set the alarm, I usually wake up when I set my mind to the night before.

[loveslongnails]

It was used in my room as a child. I got it from the 'rents, of course.

[douride2]

The one on my night stand now looks like that but minus the radio.

[Paige2006]

I have seen pictures but never had one. Aren't they from the 70s?

[MysticDevice]

I do have a normal alarm clock but not one like that.

[Laulenke]

Yep had one and used it all the through high school

[msc545]

I might have had that one, or if I didn't have that one, I had one that was kind of like it.

[fish5505_87]

I have a Magnavox D-3150 2 band! Not in use, but still works great.

[purplepoppy]

I'm sure I've seen one in an antique shop

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I think my parents had the same kind.

[TrueConfection]

That was my dad’s alarm clock radio. 😂

[LazerBean]

I didn't, but my dad did!

[OlderAndWiser]
