    I had this clock in the early 70’s. It was incredibly accurate. Would set to WWV and was spot on. The only issue is if the power went off there was no battery backup.

    We gave it the nickname of Dr. Theopolus, as it looked a lot like the device on the Buck Rogers TV show.

    Unfortunately the power transformer failed in the late 80’s, I fixed with a replacement then dropped the clock and it shattered.

    I miss the product. Radio shack had some great stuff in the day.

    I also owned this alarm clock in the early-mid-70’s. It was my first true LED device and it worked very well. The alarm sounded off very clearly. A nice feature was that it could be used on a table top or you could swing the two legs in flush with the bottom and use the keyhole on the back to hang it on the wall. Best of all, it’s operation was very intuitive and easy to set the time or alarm time. When the alarm was set the switch on the top rear left clicked into the up position and the front revealed a red stripe indicating the alarm was armed. You then pushed that button down to turn the alarm off. The top right momentary switch was the 10 minute snooze button. As I got older (and braver!) my curiosity got the better of me and I unscrewed the two rear phillips screws and the front silver cover came off revealing the circuit board and led displays soldered to it. My love of all things electronic was lit by this small (& very high tech for it’s time!) clock. I too wish that I still had it.

    I still have this clock and it’s still working. One of the LED segments is dim and I had to replace the AC adapter. Once I replaced the adapter the clock, which used to keep perfect time, no longer does. It’s still pretty close. If I could find a replacement LED digit I would attempt to fix it. As of now I’ve had the clock operating for 49 years !

    I also still own this clock and it has always worked perfectly. It is always accurate as it runs off and counts the 60 Hz electrical signal coming into your house. It never waivers in accuracy. It currently hangs in my office at work. When I bought it in 1974, it woke me every morning starting with my junior class in high school. That was a long time ago. It will be 50 years in my possession on 12/30/2024.
