Clock Radios 1940s
#1

Hello all: Seeking info on early development of clock radios in the 1940s for all table radio brands except Philco. And it appears Philco only made two, the PT69 in 1940 and the 41-22CL in 1942. I have an extensive collection from the 1950s, but when I discovered those 1940s Philco models, I began wondering if other manufacturers had experimented with clock placement before WWII shut down production. Interestingly, both the PT69 and CL22 clocks are just that--- clocks. They couldn't wake you up, put you to sleep, wake you up with an alarm, or make your coffee! Cheers!
