Things that Impress or Please you, or make you Happy...

I realized this morning that I am impressed by the clock radio in my bedroom.



This is because it is at least 40 years old and still works great!
The only thing wrong with it is the labels are worn off the buttons on top (but since I have them fairly memorized, it's not a problem).

I say it's at least 40 years old (and maybe older) because I remember buying it when I was in college (which I started when I was 17 and I am now 59) and I do remember having a different one in high school that had bright blue numbers (while this "newer" one has red numbers)!

I think I bought it at "Korvettes" or maybe it had become "Caldor's" by then (how's that for nostalgia?)

You ready? You look ready.
@Captain Steel: I have a 1990s GE clock with those red digits. I’ll buy another off ebay if it ever dies. It’s gotta be red digits. everything else is too harsh

I concur!
My previous one had a dimmer switch, but was still too bright! (Which is probably why I chose the Magnavox with the red digits!)
