Bumblebee Movie Digital Clock

[Mackey]

Someone once told me that there may be a flip clock in the Transformer Movie, "Bumblebee." Well, I actually took the wife to see that movie. It wasn't bad at all (for a kids' movie) - very watchable. But, there was no flip clock. I recently rented the video on YouTube so I could make a positive Identification of the clock. It happens to be the
General Electric: Electronic Digital FM/AM Clock Radio 7-4624B "Space Saver"



and here's a short video (less than 5 mins) showing how I made my determination - and found me a nice Transformer too.

Wow. That was some really sly sleuthing/researching by you! The GE "Space Saver" seems strangely familiar to me, I do recall seeing a few of these at thrift stores in my area and once in an outdated motel room lol.

The Transformers movie was great to watch too, although I did have a problem with how Bumblebee's cassette player looks very out of place in the Volkswagen Beetle. Would've looked better with the original VW AM radio and maybe an aftermarket 8 track hanging under the dash ^^

I really enjoyed that video!

Very keen eye on that one. Most clocks of that "era" kinda blend together for me- telling one from another is sometimes a challenge at a glance.

I do find it funny that they went to some length to remove the GE branding from the clock in the film. I know Hollywood has some overbearing rules on product placement and branding, but this seems a little extreme.
