Ha, Peace. I've got you beat for frustration. The clock radio I'm using was left at the House museum where I lived and worked for years. I switched to it (and pitched mine) because it is nicer looking than the old one I'd had. It is a new clock- but there's no manual.

So. I can't figure out how to turn off the alarm. I set the alarm for an hour at which I'm still awake so I can push the button to turn it off. If I don't turn it off, it gets louder and louder and LOUDER AND LOUDER...

This is going on EVERY day and has been for a year.
