green digits - Anything In Particular https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product-tag/green-digits/ From antique to vintage, from decorative to downright bizarre.

There's the green digital display. The faux wood effect case. The illuminated tuner section. A splash of pseudo-chrome here and there. It might not be made by a household name, but it delivers.

In terms of functions, it has all that you'd expect: AM/FM radio tuner, the facility to wake to buzzer or radio, a snooze mode, high and low dimmer settings for the display, and a sleep function. And it actually sounds pretty good - the speaker delivers a solid and rounded sound out of quite a small package.

In good cosmetic condition with only very minor signs of age and use. The unit measures approximately 30 cm (12 in.) wide (including the tuning knob on the side), 15cm (6 in.) from front to back and has a maximum height of about 10cm (4 in.).

Electronic Clock Radio ECR37 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/vintage-jones-sewing-machine-co-electronic-clock-radio-ecr37/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=vintage-jones-sewing-machine-co-electronic-clock-radio-ecr37 Mon, 03 Aug 2020 20:45:17 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=7388 A chance to buy a highly unusual item in exceptional condition, complete with original box and paperwork, this is the very snazzily-designed but rather tamely-named ECR37 made by Jones Sewing Machine Company. Yes, you read that right. Sewing Machine Company. Formed in 1860, the company made sewing machines right through to the 1980s under their own name and for others, whilst Brother of Japan formally took over the company in the late 1960s.  So, this item is a slight conundrum for several reasons, notably because the eagle-eyed will have realised it's not a sewing machine, and because Brother don't seem to have made digital alarm clock radios. Puzzling.

In any event, there's more than a hint of space-age design to it - it's certainly bold in shape and style. The green LED digits, the protruding front section, the illuminated tuning display, and the complementary speaker grill and button panel design being the key elements to what makes this truly stand out from the crowd. It's unusual in so many ways.

It's in very good (possibly even completely unused) condition with funky orange and yellow box design featuring a couple enjoying some "snooze" time perhaps, and it comes with its original instruction manual.  Find me another one!

Serious offers welcomed.
