This is an original Profords DC-18 electronic digital alarm clock produced between 1975 and 1978. The DC-18 is a characteristic example of early solid-state digital timekeeping and 1970s space-age industrial design, featuring a forward-leaning profile, a smoked display window, and a vivid green vacuum fluorescent display. This particular unit is finished in its original vintage white case (typical of 1970s plastics, now showing a warm cream tone) with a dark-green VFD display. Although the front panel includes AM/PM markings, this clock is the European version that operates in 24-hour mode, as shown in the photosnside, the DC-18 is controlled by a Texas Instruments TMS3834NC integrated circuit, part of the pioneering TMS1000 family, widely regarded as the first mass-produced single-chip microcontrollers.

The internal electronics include a linear transformer, discrete components, and a well-arranged single-sided PCB, typical of high-quality 1970s European consumer electronics. The inside of this example is exceptionally clean, free from corrosion, and fully original.Vintage white original housing Dark-green vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) 24-hour time display (European configuration) Texas Instruments TMS3834NC microcontroller Front panel slide switches: Alarm Set, Alarm On/Off, Dimmer Snooze button Underside selectors: 12/24 h, 50/60 Hz, and 220 V mains Loud mechanical-tone alarm Original 220 V Euro plug Clean and preserved internal electronicsThis clock has been cleaned inside and out. All internal components are original. The VFD display is bright and clearly legible. The casing is in very good condition with normal age-related colour shift and minor surface marks consistent with 1970s plastics. Front buttons and slide switches operate smoothly. The underside label and serial number (180183) are intact. No cracks, no structural damage, and no missing parts. This item will be shipped with fast handling and safe, protective packaging to ensure it arrives in the same excellent condition as shown. I always pack vintage electronics securely with multiple layers of protection. Due to current customs regulations and tariffs, I am not able to ship to the United States at this moment. Shipping is available to Europe and other eligible regions only.
