Some of the search engines show a www.ultronic.com for Ultronic
Systems. However, that site is not presently coming in except for a
directory listing with nothing really showing there.
I hope the site is just being revamped and you can check it later to
see if this is the company that made your clock radio. Otherwise I
could not be sure of this. In fact, I see now that this ultronic.com
is out of Wisconsin.
The imprint of "Property of Time, Inc." leads me to believe that this
is one of those products that Time Magazine contracted to be built in
bulk in order to offer the product as a free giveaway to those whom
subscribed to the magazine. These are usually custom built to
specifications (read: cheap) and produced in large quantities to the
expected rush of subscriptions -- but no more.
If you cannot get into the Ultronic.com site, then this may be
difficult to come by. You might check the auction site, Ebay,
periodically. I just checked and your radio apparently is not for sale
there tonight.
Another suggestion...go to Yahoo shopping and key these three words:
cassette clock radio
...and look at the results and see if any of those comes closest to the
clock radio you were wanting.
