No this is sounds only, no clock/alarm circuit - not had it apart yet but probably no IC in there as it has a proud length underneath suspiciously looking like it would seat a ferrite rod.  Screen is clear and shows an interior complete with dash.  At last, Jeremy Vine is playing some music. Back to work now, will look later

I had one, radio only, bought new from Tandy, for I think £9.99.  I was eyeing it for ages!

Cheers for the ID.  Good old Radio-Shack !   Plenty of my young hours spent in there, fumbling plenty but buying nothing.  The Tottenham Court Road one was like an oasis (when I was 10, that is!)

You'll have to outlive me for that to happen.. 

Went off to the interwebs and found one for sale.  And under £6 too!  There is a catch.  It's with a seller in Rome, Italy.

So, a longshot, but is there anything listed here of interest to anyone else, so postage expense could be shared

I did say longshot.  Don't, whatever you, do a late-night mis-click on the plastic Fiat 1800 ! 😶

TUESDAY DISSECTION SECTION

The (legendary) 1:22 Bburago Rolls Royce Camargue

Thought I'd take one apart as an A.S. EXCLUSIVE

Forget Dinky and their paltry part count, this where it's at

Unfortunately I scratched the rear deck paint, getting the boot lid off, and now wonder why I bothered

Bit of a long shot I know but if anyone has one of the following RC Escort's for sale or if anyone ever spots one for sale relatively cheap (charity shops, car boots etc) please get in touch. I've been searching for one that isn't over priced for a few years now. It's just that I found that RC Corgi Golf in that retro shop recently and it got me thinking someone might come across one perhaps? Cheers
