NES Alarm Clock

An NES alarm clock? Yes, it's true, this modder gutted his old NES and fitted it with a fully functional alarm clock. The buttons were wired to the console's player 1 controller port (clock settings), reset button (snooze), and power button (alarm indicator). Lastly, he custom mounted an LED display behind the cartridge slot to display the time. Where can I get one? More pics after the jump.

"The finished product's time, alarm time and other parameters have to be set by manually shorting Player 1 controller input contacts with wire jumpers."

(Thanks for the tip, Brian)
