Still have one I use occasionally in bedroom- GE audio products had amazingly rich sound quality, and the top-mount alarm radio speakers can fill an average size bedroom with rich clear & crisp sound- particularly accoustic/classical music. GE's quality lasts for decades.
Cool radios. I actually posted a video last week about a Magnavox flip-clock radio I was repairing. I got it because it reminded me of a GE flip-clock radio I had as a kid.
I have had a lot of GE clock radios. One I have which I still use is a GE from 1976 got it at flea market for very cheap. I also have a zenith red LED digital clock from 76 and it still works and has a reachable battery built in and still works it kept the time for over 12 hours. I was pretty impressed for battery from 76 works that well.
Mad cool units. I know everyone loves themselves some slide clocks, but the digital displays are what I grew up with. Love the wood grain too. Nowadays I have some nice internet radios for my bedside tables, but I have such fondness for clock radios of any sort.
Clock radios were my childhood toys. Cheap(used) and abundant radios to play with in so many varieties. I'm currently using a much newer Sony ICFCS10iP. Has nice sound, dual alarms, weekday-only mode.
I’m so glad i found your video, i just bought a 7-4625 A model (similar to the second clock in your lineup here), because it reminded me so much of the one my dad had when i was a kid. I don’t know much about GE clock radios and bought it purely for nostalgia’s sake. However I felt like a complete idiot because I couldn’t figure out how to set the time on it. I was scouring the internet for a manual for 30 mins before I finally turned to youtube. So thank you for your help, it was also nice to hear your story about finding the tv part for your radio :)
My parents had the one on the left (Model 7-4725) and I remember using that to record hours and hours of “mix tapes” by putting my little Panasonic cassette recorder near the rear speaker. Learning to press the record and play buttons at just the right times and getting frustrated when the DJ would talk over the beginning of the song-haha. Ah, the memories. Thanks for the video!
Cool story, bro...🤘🏼 Pretty neat clocks...👌🏼 I'm looking to get into collecting vintage clock radios, but probably one's that are much older than these...💯✔ That's how I found this video, because I put in "Vintage Clock Radios" and this was one of the videos that popped up for me to watch....👍🏼
On my Magnavox flip-clock, I had to take the gear cover off of the motor to clean and oil it. In the 40+ years since it was manufactured, the old grease had turned to gunk. I had to clean that out, and I re-oiled it. It works great now.
I'm expecting something similar in this one. It's a little noisy when it does work, but anything mechanical at this age should be cleaned and re-oiled anyway!
I also remember the walnut finish, red led one having the 60 hz tone. I would love it if someone knew which exact model has that and could tell us. Also, iirc, if you held down the snooz button on that one it would count up and you could choose how long to snooze up to like 99 minutes or something. Does that one do that or am I mixing it up with another one? The other one we definitely had was the Panasonic rc-6050.
I just bought the one with the blue display. Whether I set the alarm to come on with the music or the alarm tone, it just comes on with the music & I don't know why. Is that something you've encountered before? Thanks!

Ooooh, those oddball shaped ones were cool

I found one of these at my great-grandma's house, it's rented by my cousin now. She passed in 2017.

Back when quality products were proudly made in the USA.
Most of these were made in Singapore and Malaysia.

I still use the one with the blue display to get up for work everyday.
I also remember that 60hz humm on the brown one not that other
Just bought model 7-4651 for $3 best dollar I spent in life 😊
I have been picking these up at the Goowill's and etc I just got the VFD one the other day. Have several older flip models

The flip clock wasn't turning when I recorded this video, but worked a few days ago. I suspect the motor needs some coaxing/oiling.

I had that white analog clock one. My folks got it for me when I was little to teach me time. I didn't like that it didn't have FM.
When my dad was younger, I don't think they had them. Lol.

6:55: My GE I have now just Beeps, and you can adjust it by the Radio Volume.
@probnotstech I think the flip clock is a GE C4210A from what I saw on internet.
I go the second one to the left and the first time it went off it scared me so bad, i had the volume all the way up 😭

Have you tried wiggling the switch that goes between MUSIC and ALARM? Maybe it has a dirty contact causing the alarm portion to not work.
You have a framed photo of queen elizabeth???
I used to yes. Ensign Liz, wearing the dangerous red shirt
After setting up the alarm, I don't seem to be able to get back to the current time. The clock just shows the alarm set time.
Cool lineup
The clock that was shown all the way to the left is from the movie Little Monsters.
Football....Can't Wait.
