Refurbish FAIL: 80s Alarm Clock With Cassette Deck & Radio

Hi guys and welcome back to yasminecollects! Today we're taking a look at the quintessential GE 80s Alarm Clock. This model, of many during the time has a cassette recorder, AM/FM radio and is also very dirty. I grabbed it whilst thrifting, as I couldn't resist the woodgrain moment, and featured it in my last thrift with me video! We'll be going through some restoration and I... attempt to troubleshoot. As you will see, it doesn't really work especially the cassette deck. But no worries, it's final resting place as a decor piece will live forever in my strange little apartment.
