I never understood why older clock radios used to have a receptacle in

Yeah, you could turn on a lamp with that, or even the coffee. We had
3 of those, made my Arvin Radio. I still have one.

the back for your nightstand lamp but that feature has apparently become
unpopular...

I think they were unpopular even before the radios were
transistorized, but now the clock can't handle 110 volts. They could
use a relay, but don't.

I don't think we ever did use the receptacle.

I need all the help I can get to get out of the bed in the AM!

You get out in the AM? I"ve got it down to 2 PM but I'm still working
on AM.
