Dime-Awake Coin-op Alarm Clock

Well done... Now what you need is the radio that sat alongside it in the motel room. Dahlberg make them.

Here's one on eBay at the moment...

I'd have one of those clocks if it wasn't for the Hz issue....

I was able to clean out the rust stain on the clock face and pull out the Roy Rogers comic card this morning.  I'm going to put together a small instructions card from some of the other examples I have seen on the web, I think that'll finish it off. (Got that done too!)

Great Job!!
That was expensive to make back in the day.
Anyway to have it work like a regular clock?
Had never seen such a thing.
Thanks.

Creighton, it works like a regular clock when plugged in, the alarm hand is the white one that is about 6 o'clock in the photo.  You set that hand to the approximate time and insert the dime to get the alarm to work.
