Phil,
I still have mine in the nightstand drawer. It works great.

Back when I was first licensed in the 1960s, we had a 10 meter repeater in
Wheeling, West Virginia. At some point, it was upgraded to a 2 meter
repeater. The repeater owner mentioned at a radio club meeting that he
wanted a time announcement. I showed him my Sharp talking Time. He bought
one, disassembled it, and interfaced it with the local repeater. For several
years  we had hourly time announcements on the repeater in the Sharp voice.

73, Jim

Anybody remember the Sharp Talking Clock that came out years ago?  I = still
have mine but with a cell phone and the atomic talking clocks we = have in
the house, plus my atomic wrist watch, I've just found little = purpose to
use the old Sharp.  I got it out and changed the dead = batteries and
fiddled around with it and have it set to tell me the time = on the half our
and on the hour.  Plus, I'm using it as a timer when = riding my stationary
exercise bike.  I got to figuring about when I got = mine and it turned out
to be 34 years ago.  The thing is still working = great.  That was around
the time Mount Saint Helens blew.  That is = related to an interesting ham
story on 20 meters sideband I'll tell = next.

Phil.
