Electronic Digital FM-AM Clock Radio

This is a vintage Electronic Digital FM-AM Clock Radio. It features a rectangular form factor with a multi-material construction. The top surface appears to be a wood-grain patterned plastic or laminate, possibly mimicking a faux wood veneer, with prominent ribbed detailing running horizontally. The front panel is made of a beige or off-white plastic, contrasting with a darker, likely black, recessed section where the digital time display and radio tuning dial are located. The digital display is a red LED type, common in electronics from the 1970s and 80s, and shows 'AM' and 'WAKE' indicators, along with 'BATTERY BACKUP' text. To the right of the digital display is an analog tuning dial for FM and AM frequencies, marked with typical radio station numbers (e.g., FM: 88-108 MHz, AM: 550-1600 KHz). The top control panel includes several push-buttons labeled 'SNOOZE', 'SLEEP', 'WAKE', 'HOUR', and 'MIN', indicating its alarm and sleep functions. There are also rotary knobs, one clearly labeled 'VOLUME', and another for 'MUSIC ALARM' settings, along with toggle switches. A red retail sticker is visible on the top wood-grain patterned surface, suggesting it is being sold in a thrift store or similar retail environment. The overall condition shows signs of use and age, including some discoloration and minor scuffs on the plastic casing, consistent with an older electronic item. The style strongly suggests a mid to late 20th-century aesthetic, likely 1970s or 1980s.
