BinkieBaumont said:I have a Crosley special edition reproduction model from the 1980s? its in a heavy chocolate brown plastic, one end is rounded and the other end is very square, it also has a cassette system on the side which has died!( not missing that function!) , If anyone is interested I will take a Photograph and post.
Is it the copy of this set, the Zenith SR-312?

The 1952 Crosley D-25 "Coloradio" clock radio, an original example of which may be seen here:

is available in a rather good replica:

nut stylisticly, these sets were designed as kitchen appliances, intended to be set atop a refrigerator (the little legs allowed the set to rest flat on the curved tops of the refrigerators of the day) or on a kitchen table (the original model of this set had an outlet on the back so that the clock mechanism could turn a percolator on in the morning).
