GE General Electric Programmable Clock Radio 7-4885



A great old radio.
I owned one for many years, until the keypad died, which is the usual end of this model.
It had two alarms and digital keypad entry for both the alarm and radio frequencies.
It also had multiple station memory.

They don't make them like this anymore.

If you ever manage to find another one, don't pass on it. The keypad issue is due to the foam surround piece that fits over the buttons. It degenerates and then helps cause the oxidation that interferes with button operation. The contacts can be cleaned and the foam surround replaced with something user-fashioned to prevent future issues. :-)

Those were great. I have never been able to find anything close to it since then.
