The 1964 Bulova Amazon Echo
I present the world's only 1964 Bulova Amazon Echo (so far...) ;) It started as a funny idea. "What if there were a Mid-century Modern Amazon Echo device?" Kim and I both adore the MCM aesthetic, and have styled our living room largely in it. On a lark, I started looking at clocks and clock-radios from the period on eBay. Tangent - my goodness there are a lot of phony / fake "antique" clocks and radios on eBay! Caveat emtpor! Anyhow, I ran across this fairly common "mini clock radio" from the 1960s, made by the New York City based Bulova watch company: The Bulova 130. There were lots of them on eBay. This particular one was nearby, in seemingly good cosmetic condition, and importantly the clock worked but the AM radio didn't . Perfect! That makes it cheaper, and also makes me feel less guilty about gutting some electronics out of an antique! 🤣 The clock arrived fairly quickly and I confirmed ...
