The owl's eyes serve as the display, glowing with a nostalgic bright green VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) light. A delightful mix of late Soviet engineering and folk-style ceramic decor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eItem Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Digital alarm clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elektronika (Электроника)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elektronika-01 (СНВ-1208д)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990 (manufacture date 06-90 on the label)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glazed ceramic (majolica style), plastic, electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vacuum fluorescent display (VFD), green glow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Time display and alarm (signal); controls on the side\/back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220V, European-style plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height approx. 18–20 cm (7.1–7.9 in); width approx. 16 cm (6.3 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original paper label with model, price of 40 rubles, date 06-90 and OTK quality control stamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed, in excellent vintage condition.
