The toy takes one "D" size battery which fits into a compartment on the underside (see photos).

There are no chips or cracks to the casing and mechanically everything works as it should. It does benefit hugely from using the best possible batteries (size "C") you can lay your hands on.  The battery compartment itself is nice and clean - no corrosion. The box is a little bit worn and the original owner, Nicola - hello Nicola! - has written her name on the front of it. We hope she doesn't mind that we're selling it on after having had a good old play with it.

The lamp comprises a conical base with the top of the cone truncated. The base houses the switch, a battery compartment and an AC adaptor socket, whilst it is also slightly hollowed to allow the shade to sit in it when the folding arm is positioned appropriately. This transforms the whole lamp into a torch-like object, with the arm now appearing more like a handle, whilst the light itself can be used almost as a lantern when in this configuration. Otherwise, the three joints - one at the base, one at an "elbow" about halfway up the arm, and another just before the shade - allow the shade to be positioned as per a normal lamp.

Inside the shade is a small fluorescent tube which gives off a pleasing light and the cylindrical shade itself can be rotated to direct light where required. The images show a variety of the positions into which the lamp and shade can be placed.

In its most compact form, the lamp measures approximately 25 cm in height (10 in.). The base has a diamater of 11 cm (4½ in.) and a height of 6cm (2¼ in.), whilst the shade is 19cm (7½ in.) long.

In good working condition, though it has not been tested with an AC adaptor. The plastics have some minor signs of use (superficial scratches, etc.) but no chips or cracks.  If one was to be very picky, one would say the white plastics have yellowed slightly from their original bright white. The battery compartment (4 "AA" size batteries are used for operation) is clean.

The clock is in very good condition, in full working order and takes a size "C" battery for power. At its most compact the clock measures approximately 8.5cm wide, 9.5 cm high with a depth of 7.5cm (3¼ in., 3¾ in., and 3 in. respectively.)

They're quirky and colourful and perhaps the "pager" functionality will appeal to someone!

The plastics are in relatively good shape, bar some superficial scratches. The clear plastic face of the clock has rather more signs of age and wear - there are a couple of reasonably lengthy scratches which are noticeable from certain angles, but there are no cracks or other structural issues.  Notwithstanding these cosmetic issues, overall the clock makes a fine piece and certainly has strong visual appeal due to its colours and shape.

The clock measures approximately 11.5cm (4½ in.) in height, including the button, 9.5 cm (3¾ in.) at its widest and has a depth of 7cm (2¾ in.). The width of the base is 7cm (2¾ in.).

This one is in good condition bar a dent to the head (see photos) and comes complete with original box and spare bulb. It works, remarkably, though it is suspected that it won't be of much genuine use. Rather,  it's an interesting curio or slightly left-field gift, most likely.  The box shows more signs of use and age, as should be expected.

The torch is powered by 2 x "C" size batteries, not included.

The radio works - although a bit crackly -  and takes two "AA" batteries - you just unscrew the two halves to reveal the inside and the battery compartment. The plastic strap is affixed to the metal belt which surrounds the orange housing via a "D" ring, which is not original but which works perfectly. It and the strap can be removed if necessary, the latter by unscrewing the red closure which holds the belt in place.

The radio measures approximately 13cm in diameter with a depth of 6cm (approx. 5 in. and 2¼ in. respectively), and the strap is approximately 122cm (48 in.) in total length. In very good condition with only extremely minimal superficial signs of age and use.
