![]() ![]() ![]() If you search for " vintage westclox alarm clock " you will find dozens of old alarm clocks by this company. The risk from Radium has been discussed at length here with many different opinions expressed.Ĭlick to expand. If you find one of these you can sleep and get your maximum daily radiation limit at the same time! All joking aside, many of these old alarms did have Radium dials. There was one popular square one with a black face and green Radium numerals that glowed in the dark. I would go for a good size one and not the little travel alarms. Of course not being made to last probably means that you will have to repair it first, but they usually don’t cost a fortune. I see these on e-Bay all the time (we are not allowed to mention specific active e-Bay auctions). They usually lasted a few years and then he would get a new one and give me the old one to “work on” (which usually translated into destroy). No jewels, just a tin case and a cheap noisy movement.

Watchfixer, as for the 4-jewel Russian clocks, is there a brand and model that you recommend, that is, as a wind up/keywound clock?

This appears to be one solid option to consider. Soringjoy, thank you for your advice regarding the Ikea Dekad (Made in China). And, yes, Tonyboy, I would like to control outside noise as it pertains to the place where I going to stay at an out-of-town location towards the end of this year. ![]()
