If there weren’t already enough alarm clocks on the market to choose from, in order to adorn somehow you bedside table, here’s another novelty. The clock looks like a retro TV. Actually, the alarm clock is housed in a retro-style television and has a couple of different ways to make sure you wake up in the morning. More precisely, the device plays back some old game show themes and sounds that are meant to open your eyes after too many hours of sleep.

Ok, I agree, you must be a fan of modern retro gadgets in order to enjoy and love this alarm clock, but come on, this thing has a remote control to shut it off whenever you please. However, it could be dangerous for heavy sleepers, as it would make it way too easy to lazily open your eyes and flip off the alarm without even thinking about it.

The TV has four different alarms, three are game shows and the other is the TV test signal background. In addition, there are an LCD that displays hour and minute, in a 12 hour format, a month and date display button, three function buttons: Mood light ON / OFF button, Mode button and Set button, a remote control mood light ON / OFF up to 2 meters, a colorful flash mood light and a handle on the top for easy to carry.

The clock measures approximately 9.4 x 8.3 x 7.4 centimeters and weighs 263 grams, while the remote’s dimensions are 6.0 x 3.5 x 1.0 centimeters. The Alarm Clock is powered by 3 x AAA batteries or 4.5V DC adaptor (which are not included).

The package consists of the Retro TV Alarm Clock and the remote control, while instructions are available on the package, the device being easy to set and operate. If you want to add one more alarm clock to your collection you like to ignore in the mornings, then you can purchase the Retro TV Game Show Alarm Clock from SourcingMap.com for an amount of only $19.99.
