The Montgomery Ward Airline Remote Control Digital Clock FM/AM Radio model number GEN-1983B. Quite an unusual (and apparently unpopular) clock radio.
The clock was first seen in the Montgomery Ward Fall and Winter 1973 catalog and then only once more in the winter catalog.

In this video we demonstrate how to fix the most common problems in flip clock radios - not just this model. This includes oiling the motor and cleaning the switches and volume control.
