A question I sent to the seller during the auction
Hi, and just one question on this clock/radio
We would use it in the bedroom, so it is important that the flip-numbers are backlit
Could you let me know if they are??
Thanks ... Geoff

Hi Geoff, and yes they are
I should have mentioned that in the auction - sorry
Regards ... Peter
