Hi guys - I have an old D3620/80 Night Line transistor clock/alarm radio, in white plastic.
I've been trying to find out when it was made - without any success!
Does someone out there have the answer for me?
I'll be grateful.
Thanks.

My broad time-line guess is 1980s. Clock radios of the 1970s tended to use split flap time displays that mechanically flipped over.

By the 1980s they were using vacuum fluorescent displays, which I'm guessing that unit has.
