Almost every audio electronics manufacturer made one and this one is the offering of Philips, initially the D3110 and later the D3112. It's a 12cm rounded cube of plastic with all of the features you'd expect, some nice design detailing, and the sort of looks that would match your 1980s bedroom. It has a three-band radio (FM/LW/MW), dual alarms, wake to radio or buzzer, slumber option, snooze ("repeat" alarm) and classic red digit display. It also has a decent sound from the speakers.

This one is in good condition albeit that the white plastic has some slight yellowing, which is not uncommon for these items. There are no chips or cracks to the plastic casing and everything functions as it should.,

Inside the very square silver body is a synthesised voice system which tells the time on command, can be set to "chime" at intervals, and also provides wake-up and sleep notification duties.  The voice is suitably retro - an American=accented deep male tone which is certainly a throwback to pre-Alexa times! There's a three-band FM/MW/LW radio which produces a good sound and can be the alarm source, too. Also of note is the blue VFD digital display which can be dimmed and is very pleasing in use.

In good condition considering its age and use, with only superficial wear and tear to the unit. Believed to be fully working - all the major functions (the clock, radio and alarm) have been tested and confirmed functional. Some of the settings buttons on the left hand side of the unit require a definite "push" to operate, but they do work.

Measuring approximately 18.5cm square (7¼ in.) with a depth of 9cm (3½ in.).
