the amount of corrosion in that thing, its making its own circuits now

[@FlyRetroGamer]

I cannot disagree, but I do not really think that rust conducts electricty enough to really do very bad damage.

[@TheCrewExpendable]

Sounds like what the machines/AI will say when they overthrow us: "We make our own circuits now"

My late father worked in the “ITT Creed” Brighton factory in the 80’s. Building teleprinters. He was partially colour blind so I don’t know quite how he assembled circuit boards? Thanks for the amusing videos.

[@omgitsgreebeguys]

That is some wonderful radio static.

[@REXXSEVEN]

I also wonder why you can only tune the stations in one direction but not in the other. Never heard of that problem.

[@iscander_s]

Switches and dials are full of corrosion and all capacitors are probably dried up. But it can be restored to it's past glory

[@moth.monster]

But it's funny like this

[@graealex]

@@moth.monster To cite Posy, "it's a challenge"

[@jasonblalock4429]

I kind of love its design. Scalred up a bit and given a darker paint job, that would make one hell of a cyberdeck.

[@andrewkovnat]

Contact cleaner solution on the internals of the knobs usually gets those crackles right out

[@s4ndwichMakeR]

Speculation: It looks like the SNOOZE function works by pressing the forward and fast-forward buttons at the same time but through the hatch. It has these protruding things on the underside for that. But they look a bit too far apart so I could be wrong.

[@zaprodk]

I think you are correct.

[@tombrgfux]

[@DanielGlover]

Nice little video. I got a clock radio from 1987. First thing bought with newspaper round money. We got an envelope with actual money in back then. That clock radio out in dads workshop, big shed in the garden, Still going as it always was. Been on 36 years. You not sound like an old man. I do when get moaning at home or out getting stressed on holiday, outings, KZbin videos, edit out those bits.!. I noticed it. watched properly.

[@ffamii]

Thats the kind of thing I find on ebay and want! Only to be disappointed once it arrives. Love it!

[@graealex]

It would also eat a lot of power just to light up a few LED segments. Usually good old transformer mit linear regulator. So like 5W+ just for an alarm clock.

[@marcod24]

This video just took me back to the time when I used to set the old Panasonic RC-6130 radio clock for my grandparents, every now and then because the power just to go off a lot. What a swarm of nostalgia.

[@AiOinc1]

My parents had a little blue alarm clock on their bedside for as long as I can remember. It broke a few months ago and I tool it apart because that's the kind of person I am. Looks like it was made in about 1981!

[@penguin44ca]

Dude you always make me laugh. Your humour is perfect

[@ji_gregory]

OMG, no single 'sorry' in this video!

[@Sonnell]

A good amount of contact spray will fix most of the issues :)

[@picklesdill5462]

Love you Posy! Your mind is curious and fun!

[@hg-sx5nk]

OMG, that tuner that only works tuning up: i can clearly pictue the variable capacitor with its polyester insulation layers crumpling and wrinking...

[@AlexKivikoski]

Made me think of Doug.

[@mileswales]

Maybe the time set button lid acts as a big snooze button?

[@REXXSEVEN]

Yes. I believe it does this by pressing both time set buttons at the same time when the lid is pressed down. But because there is possibly corrosion on those contacts inside the buttons, the snooze does not work.

[@alexformation]

What a beautiful radio

[@maverick9708]

you are having quite some fun with that, haha what i would give to have one myself to listen to that lovely radio signal

[@ExploringNew1]

Finally!! Found an alarm that will actually wake me up. At full power

Agree

[@paulc4199]

This is my favourite lazy posy yet. More radio things please!

[@agingerthing6125]

From what I know from an alarm clock I had, the snooze button is used by pressing both buttons down, best done with the cover for the buttons at 2:32. This might not be true though, every alarm is different 🤷‍♂

[@henninghoefer]

The panel shown way too short at 4:17 reads "Damn… I start to sound like an old man… :-(" (and I had to replay that like 10x until I managed to hit pause at the right time)

[@qwertykeyboard5901]

3:10 The IC in that thing might actually be dying then. More specifically, part of the chip's frequency synthesis.

[@graealex]

More likely that capacitors have crapped out, making input voltages have too much ripple for the IC to properly function.

[@qwertykeyboard5901]

@@graealex Emphasis on "might actually".

[@alinayossimouse]

to me it looks like the snooze function is supposed to work by pressing on the lid which in turn will press both buttons beneath it at the same time

[@vinylcabasse]

Maybe the snooze function works by pressing the lid down like one big button?

[@rawelements]

That is the most slany design I've ever seen. Especially, the interference noise. It's got quite a vinyl-type crackle to it.

[@REXXSEVEN]

So if you don't set the time, then you can't turn the radio off.....EVER. You can't make this up.

[@logitok3557]

Maybe this is a fault. But maybe... maybe this behavior may be intentional. It could be a safety function so that after a power failure, and the associated loss of the current time, you are alerted when the power comes back on. Simply so that you are woken up and then informed that the time is no longer correct and so that you don't oversleep the next morning. Somewhat newer clocks (still from the nineties etc.) had this function with a backup battery. However, the time was then saved in the event of a power failure and an alarm went off on many devices during the outage, which was powered by the battery in question.

[@REXXSEVEN]

@@logitok3557 Interesting, It would make sense if It was intentional using the case that you described.

This must be a mechanical clock with contacts on a disk or something to make the digit display look like that

The clock radio you can give to your parents from the early mabye 2010… but you can give it to your parents by the LG FFH-576AD. Or you can give to your parents from the early 2020s is the LG CM2760 micro Hifi or you want for also the 2015s You can buy the LG FA166 Micro-System. or you can make a review of a video of these devices.

I only really paid attention to the interference "sound effects" on the radio anyway... so: more interference from modern devices = more "channels" to for me to listen to. ;)

It's so very sad how alarm clocks all look exactly the same now, ugly, boring, unimaginative landfill garbage. Getting old clock radios is a real hunt and sadly no company has taken it upon themselves to start making replicas of old designs. So sad
