Moonbeam 1950's Repro Clocks – Check your Big Lots!

[ShortClara]

Short Clara and Smuterella, I had problems with mine when I tested the alarm as well. The first time I tested it, it went off about 10 minutes late. Every time since then, it's been fine. Maybe tinker with it a little more?

Also, Clara, did you turn off the clock when it started blinking or did you let it run? It blinks for about 4 or 5 minutes before the bell rings.

D'oh! That was mentioned above. Apparently my problems are user error. Not surprising :eusa_doh:

This thread has driven me clock-crazy! I now have a green, a blue, a pink, 2 of the clock radios a 1931 silver & the athens one too! Big Lots is so cool, and to think I rarely went there even though I have one here in my town! New frontiers and all, you know? It is making me rethink how I can add some more retro/vintage items to my already decorated home!

Inspector, you're killing me! 2 of the radios........whimper:eusa_doh:

I love that radio clock so very much. It would have looked lovley in the apartment I didn't get.

^Looking sharp.

Yesterday I got a blue wall clock and we got one of the pink Moonbeams as a gift for our oldest daughter (she's 8). I think she'll like it.

Unbelievable Lady!

Lulu in NY pm's me and offers to go out of her way to find me a clock/radio. Then takes her time and gets the last one for me. What a classy lady! A very public thank you for such graciousness!

Hey, does anybody have the cool mint green clocks at your local store?

My nearest Big Lots has pink and green, but the green is a bright lime green. *yucky*

Which clock? The Moonbeam? I didn't know there was a mint green- I thought that the one green I've seen was the only one. Are you talking about the bluish one? If so, I haven't seen a single one like that.

 

[Miss Neecerie]

Yea...he means the blue which is honestly more tealy blue then true blue....and I have one for him..... got it today, just need to ship it.

Those are cool. Hope our big lots has them when I make it in next. (80+ mile round trip to the nearest Big Lot Store).My next scheduled trip is in September. Fortunately, there aren't many (known) loungers in the area.

 

[Lola Getz]

Thanks to this heads-up, I now have the pink(for me) and the yellow (square) one for my husband. There were no radios there--I was saddened! I want one so much! I didn't see any of the light blue either.
When I paid for them, the cashier looked at me suspiciously when I rattled on and on about my clock excitement. She did not share my Moonbeam love.

 

[Mike K.]

Thanks again Miss Neecerie!

If anyone wants either the chartreuse green or the pink Moonbeam, my store has a few of each left.

I'm 30 some odd miles North of Muskogee, in Chouteau. I used to pass through Ft Smith quite often to visit relatives in Arkansas (Clarksville). It's been a year or two since my last trip that direction.

 

[CherryRed]

Oh I know Muskogee,we went to the renaisance fair there a couple of times several years back.

How about this one? Skinny guy included free of charge...

 

[Lefty]

We found the best deal.

Everyone else can pay $39+shipping - though I do like the yellow.
