I bought this 1974 Westclox Transistor Radio Clock Combination at an Estate sale and can't find any informaiton on it. It is electric and the radio sits atop the clock. The radio can be removed and used by itself (uses a battery) it has a carrying loop handle and antenna. I bought it brand new still in box. It is a model number 80058. Has anybody ever seen one like it?

What else would you want to know that NIB would not tell you???
nope, but that color is amazing
I do not understand your comment Pop_abides. The box was not in very good shape and the literature inside it was unreadable. I don't understand why there are no others out there and why it is not listed in the Westclox website.
Knockknock, have you thought about contacting Westclox and asking them for information? I'd try giving them a call, telling them you have this clock and ask who you might speak to to get more information about it. I'm an antique dealer and have contacted companies many times - most are very helpful.
