How can I silence a Samsonite travel alarm clock?

Duct tape.

John

Bell jar and a vacuum pump (several options, like what goes in it?) or side cutters or silicon RTV in the hole where the sound comes from

But, since they need a transducer for the actual alarm function, isn't it possible that the same one is used for the "beep" and the alarm, and if you do much to kill the "beep" you lose the alarm sound in the morning.

That was not specified, possibly inferred

Maybe a candle in a candle holder, with a incandescent lighting implement, would ensure a silent perusal of the chronosphere

or another alaurm clock or switch on the beside table lamp

How would you see the clock face?

A .357 Magnum should work fairly well.

No, no, no...he means to tie the wife up with duct tape so she doesn't get the urge to check the time after they have finished sex. ; ^ D

John Lark>>Duct tape.

mart>How would you see the clock face?

The duct tape doesn't affect your eyesight at all, silly, You put it over your ears--not your eyes. 8-)

I was thinking **foam tape**. Maybe multiple layers. My first thought was the same as Black's: This will make the *alarm* quite useless.

If the bezel can be removed easily, maybe phosphorescent paint. Ah for the days of Radium dials and hands.

...and as you suggested in another post: external lighting

--say, a keychain flashlight or LED fob.

AND a hammer ;-)

Caver's wrist sundials have completely eliminated any need for clock faces.

But what if he's from some liberal state that doesn't allow handguns?

Use aversion therapy. Every time she wakes you up in the middle of the night with her beeping clock, give her a hump.

This might or might not solve the problem, but at least you'll be getting laid. ;-)

Good Luck! Rich

No need to worry. If they have already banned guns, alarm clocks can't be far behind.

OK, this is a sure fire cure. Get rid of the Samsonite from besides the bed. Makes a lousy clock anyhow. Get a real clock, like a Westclox, $9.99 at Target. It is lit all the time. You could give it to her as an anniversary present.

Tam

replace the light button with one that has aditional contacts that disconnect, or short-circuit, the speaker when you press it.

On the down side, doing this is likely to void any warranty and make the clock ugly so your wife may not wish to use it anymore

getting a small flashlight for the nightstand may work better.

I was thinking something a little less severe, like a claw hammer or the like. If it gets too tuff, then try a sledge hammer.

Just wait till they ban TEA in England. Then Eeyore will really have something to whine about!
