Good gift. Practical and long-lasting. They're still being sold, as vintage items. I'm surprised the display on them has lasted this long.

If my explorations in the world of thrift-store electronics sections are any indication, GE’s clock radios, and to a lesser extent Sony’s, seem to hold up really well. The mechanical displays, especially the flipping-digit ones, are waaaaay more likely to fail than the LCDs.
