It is mains powered. The alarm functions perfectly and is set using the dial on the rear of the body, where the dial to set the time is also located. The buzzer is extremely effective as a waker-upper - in other words, it's loud. The lamp flashes at the same time meaning you've absolutely no excuses for missing your wake up call! The alarm is deactivated on a temporary basis by pushing the button down on top of the unit and disabled more permanently by sliding the button slightly forwards when depressed, to latch it in place.

In good condition, with only minor signs of wear and age to the plastic body, and fully functional.

A really nice-looking and effective alarm clock which hopefully will find a suitably retro environment in which to wake up the inhabitants!

They are effectively an intercom system - once connected (wired), each phone can "call" the other by lifting the handset and pressing the dial button. The other phone emits a "ringing" sound and its light goes on to indicate an incoming "call". As it stands, that's as much functionality as these currently perform, but it's enough to be entertaining. There should, it seems, be voice-over-wire functionality as well, but it doesn't work. It may be a loose connection or similar problem, but these are sold "as is" with decorative appeal as much as the their limited functionality in mind.

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

Each 'phone takes a 4.5V 3r12 flat battery (not supplied due to postage restrictions)
