I stopped by Big Lots today and got the green one. Its so pretty. They had pink, but I didnt see the yellow one.

Awesome! you got a Twilight! I'm still looking for that one!

 

[Sunny]

I got my yellow Twilight in yesterday's mail (thanks, Sunny!), and like it a lot. I'm going to use it at the office. (I already have an original Moonbeam at home.)

You're welcome! Glad it arrived safely.

Well here's the 1939 helping me survive the home improvements:

The pink one is still in a moving box.

My Mom lives in Honesdale so the store she would go to would be in or around Dixon City or Scranton.

okies - I'm having some problems with my moonbeam, the alarm seems to ring when it wants, not when I've set it. Its a beautiful thing in any case and I adore it but does anyone else have problems.

edit - I think I just need to set it about 20 minutes early. my gosh, a night in spent playing with an alarm clock. my life is so exciting!

*grin*

 

[thebadmamajama]

Just got the last 2 at my location. How wonderful! We should all be in a club or something now that every one of us has one of 'em!

Aha! Me too! I thought it was just that I had no idea what I was doing.
Which, of course, may still be the case...lol
However, when I got mine, it had a yellow band around the wrapping with a glaring warning to make sure you only turn the setting dials the way they're supposed to be turned. Perhaps if you go the other way, it affects the performance of the clock.

I think that the directions say that the light goes off 5 mins before the time that the alarm is set. The bell/buzzer should sound at the set time.

mine doesn't do that - the light goes off before the buzzer alright but if i want it to go off at 7am i have to set it for about 6:40am, the light that starts at 6:55 and the buzzer at 7!

Still, i love it!

I stopped by another Big Lots yesterday and found a blue Moonbeam, which I grabbed. They also had some of the gigantic double bell alarm clocks, which I didn't grab. Still wish I could find one of those radios.

Um, there's a buzzer? Mine is inaccurate and silent. But pretty - I just won't use to to wake up! It was the only blue one at the BL and I'll keep it.

 

[KittyT]

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.
