Availability of the GE Model C2550A Alarm Clock Radio in the USA

The General Electric Model C2550A was a 1967 AM/FM superheterodyne receiver with an electric clock, produced by GE’s Bridgeport, CT/Syracuse, NY plants Radiomuseum. This means it was introduced to the U.S. market in 1967 and would have been available for purchase during that year and into the early 1968 period.

Given that it was a consumer electronics product of that era, it would have been sold through standard retail channels such as department stores, appliance stores, and electronics retailers in the U.S. during its production run. The exact month of first sale is not specified in the available records, but the model year of 1967 indicates it was marketed and sold starting in that year.
