Hah, what a coincidence this post is.

Just last week I had to open first time alarm clock with green 7-segment display. Because I accidentally dropped it while vacuuming and antenna cord broke as it was so firmly under picture frame holding nail. And while open cleaned interior from dust, used greasy PRF to lubricate pots, switches and tuning wheel. If I recall correctly it did have that LM8560 chip in int and with display looked almost exactly what was in subject article inside.

I bought -85 before christmas because my then girlfriend told that alarm clock that I've built myself using standalone clock module purchased from a local electronics component store was too ugly for us and had to go. Sure, I took that old one to summer cottage and once I saw this better looking to make her happy. What couldn't a young man do to make is becoming fiancé happy, right.

Q: But why the device is branded Luxor and it's made for NOKIA? A: Because NOKIA bought bit earlier that year (1985) Swedish Luxor consumer electronics. And I guess they did not had yet time redo chassis with NOKIA printed on and this was a still products transition period.

NOKIA was still at that time making also TV sets and was about to bring two years later its first completely new way of implementing analog TV using digital processing chips, which allowed quite nice fieatures like PIP which was great help making VHS recording without ads. I had one of those TV-sets (M-model) and used it about 10 years.

But that alarmclock radio from -85 is still going strong, good shape and it definitely was good purchase about 40 years ago.
