Looking at the photo it looks like he put a nightstand clock into a case.

I did this a lot as a kid -- removed broken stuff, poked around to fix it, glued it into a different box. It's one of the reasons I went into electrical engineering.

Yeah I was fortunate to have grown up when Heathkit had stores, they blew away Radio Shack. Could never afford anything in there but the catalogs were fun to read and store was amazing to browse.

It's a shame we have nothing like that today, electronics are just "magic" to people now that is made elsewhere.
