My two oldest daughters still talk about grandpa time. It would tell them that it was time to brush their teeth 15 minutes before their bedtime and they couldn't wait at times to get into bed to listen to the bedtime story. Many times I would stay in their room to listen to it too. The morning was great with the way it woke them up.

I miss this toy soooo much! I've been trying to find it everywhere! I would love to have it for my future kids. My little sister and I would listen to him tell stories every night. I couldn't sleep without it. One of my all time favorite childhood toys!

I too have been looking all over for the Granpa Time Clock for my Grandchildren. I found one for my Son when he was about 3 or 4 years old, and he loved that Grand Father kind talking voice that read him stories before he would go to sleep. It was so cool because it would start getting the child ready for bed....tell them they have 10-15 minutes and it's time to brush your teeth, than it would give them another 10-15 minutes to get tucked into bed and ready to listen to the great little stories. If anyone comes across these, please let me know, as I would love to get a couple or few! Kynd1@hotmail.com

I want one of these soooo bad. I think this might be the toy i mis most from my childhood. indie_desert_naiad@yahoo.com

My "kids" are 19 & 21 and this was their favorite toy (mine too). They would get so excited when he told them to brush their teeth and they loved the stories! I would love to surprise my girls with one. If anyone knows how to get one please email me at felicianowak@msn.com.

I would love to find a Grandpa Time I have looked everywhere any Ideas tried ebay I find nothing .Was my youngest son fav thing for us to listen to Grandpa time at night , my Kids did'nt have Grandparents so he thought it was Great

I can't believe there are actually other people out there that remember this clock. My 18 year old used to love this clock when he was about 3. I used to sit in there and listen to it as well. I don't have much of a memory about it except that it was white and brown with a mustache somewhere...wish I had a picture of it.I don't understand why noone can find it. If everyone is looking for it, you would think that it would start showing up everywhere. If anyone has knowledge of this my handicapped daughter would love to have it.

I can believe there is a fan cub for Grandpa Time the talking storytelling clock. I purchase one when my young daughter of 5 was around 2 years. She is now 27 years.I had it til recently, when my daughters throught it out last year. I could not believe they did that. I was totally upset.

i have been looking everywhere ofr this toy!!! my sister looked for her children, and now I am looking for my daughter...ill pay way over what it cost to get it for her if anyone has any information on where to find it please! Me and my sisters had it as children, didnt throw it out just got lost in moving at some point. Thanks, any help is appreciated!!!

I have this clock but none of the tapes with it, I would be willing to sale it if anyone is interested in it let me know,email me: our3dcloset@yahoo

I'm selling it on ebay heres the item number Item number: 170305452523

I know the company that made it, "homestar" went out of business. I am 27 now and saved mine since I was about 7 so that I could give it to my kids. I have four of that tapes that came with it. When I turned it on it made weird sounds and beeping noises. I wanted to cry! I loved that thing. I have heard many people say the same thing about theirs. I am trying to contact an electronic repair person to see if they can fix it. If you have one that works please email me at jotucker81@hotmail.com. Thanks

Yeah, mine beeps as well. I'm thinking about posting it on ebay. my address: prayin4you@yahoo.com

I also had one of these as a kid and am now 24yrs old with a little boy. If anyone is selling there's on e-bay please let me know! I'd love to buy it from you!! Indigolabyrinth@hotmail.com

JUST FOUND THE ONE I BOUGHT MY 2 BOYS IN THE GARAGE WHEN THEY WERE LITTLE - THEY ARE NOW 21 & 23. STILL IN THE BOX, BUT NOT SURE IF THERE WAS ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONS INCLUDED OR JUST THE DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS ON THE SIDE OF BOX. HAVEN'T COMPLETELY FIGURED OUT HOW TO SET IT YET.

Not to gloat but I bought a Grandpa Time at a thrift store today, brand new--still in the plastic wrap in the box, with all three tapes, AC adapter and instruction manual. Ha, even the warranty card. My three-year-old daughter loves him already and he couldn't have come at a better time; she's just begun to have night fears in the past couple weeks. Tonight was the first time in a long time that bedtime was tear-free. What a miracle. I don't think I will ever sell this neat guy, but if anyone would like me to type in the instructions, email them or whatever, I would be more than happy to.

I am looking for one of these clocks for my nieces, i used to listen to it and i would like for them to have the chance to here it too.

We have a Grandpa Time Clock that our children loved, with the instructions and tapes. We will be selling it on e-bay the week of 5/31/09. I hope this helps.

I am interested in purchasing your grandpa time and tapes. So do know which date it will be posted. Also I would be happy even to just have a copy of the tapes if that were possible. You can email me at citkyle@gmail.com. THanks. Also if anyone has the tapes and would be willing to copy the tapes and send them to me for a price I would be very happy, thanks. See me email above.

I am also looking for this clock. I had one as a child before my mother had cancer and when we lost everything the clock went to. If anyone has one I would be very interested in purchasing it. my email is CABRUNZO@YAHOO.COM. My father and I have been searching for one for years!

I'm still looking for this clock and keep checking e-bay but I don't see anyone selling it. Is Sheri still selling the grandpa time clock or did someone already buy it? If anyone else is selling theirs please post so here or e-mail me at Indigolabyrinth@hotmail.com

My Aunt has a Granpa Time and it is sooo neat i love this toy it tells you when to brush your teeth go to bed and tells you stories it is awsome!

As with most on this page, I too have been looking for a Grandpa Time to purchase for my little girls. I had one when I was little and my mother just recently searched everywhere for my old one, but no luck! Is there anyone willing to sell an old one?? I checked ebay and there are none as of today.

They are rarely posted on e-bay and it seems when they are its either for an extravagant amount or for under $10. When I did a search I found one that had sold on e-bay for $6.50 back in March!! I don't know how I missed that. There was also one I found while browsing a thrift store. Came back a few days later to buy it and it had already sold. I'm sure another one will turn up at a thrift store or a yard sale this summer. But my recommendation is that if any of you see one, buy it because they are VERY hard to find. Good luck!

I've been searching for one for along time too. I image if you found one for $6.50 on e-bay there had to be something wrong it. Because I had one in the 80's and it was $40 plus--and it cost extra to purchase more tapes! It sure was a neat storytelling clock though. Wish they would make more!!

Does anyone have the instructions on how to work this clock? Set the time or how the tape deck works? Does is play just the grandpa time tapes intended for the clock, or can it play other cassette tapes? If anyone has the answers to these questions and could please e-mail me I'd appreciate it. Thanks! indigolabyrinth@hotmail.com

As far as I remember, you must use the Grandpa time tapes, because the precorded messages are recorded on the tapes, not in the unit.

omg both of our kids had one of these wonderful clocks. They told the sweetest stories in the most calming voice. I really wish they would make these again. They came out about the same time as the grandpa and grandma AG Bears as well as the Dozies. A terrific era for talking and story telling toys. :)

Does anyone remember the stories that were on those tapes? It took me a while but after thinking about it I remembered a few of them: Rumpelstiltskin Snow White and Rose red Beauty and the Beast Puss n Boots There were 3 tapes so I'm sure there were a lot more! Anyone else remember any?

I've repeatedly tried to submit a photo of the clock, but it never appears. I wonder, does anyone know how to contact admins? I can find any way.

I've finally been able to purchase one of these clocks and am awaiting the delivery!! Hooray!! The only problem is, it does not come with any of the original tapes. So now the hunt begins for a tape. Anyone selling just one or more of the tapes on ebay? Anyone? Even if you sold a copy I would probably consider buying it as long as it worked. Please let me know if any of you are planning on putting them up on ebay! Thanks!! indigolabyrinth@hotmail.com

oh my gosh! i just found my grandpa time today while cleaning out the basement! i was so excited. ive had this when i was a kid. and im 23 today actually! i really wanna listen to the tape that was in it but i cant find the adapter for it :( i have another grandpa time somewhere around here hoping that one at least has the adapter for it laying around. lol. anyone that wants to sell an adapter or tapes let me know.

Some of the other stories are like Rapunzel, Thumbelina, Frog Prince, the Princess and the Pea, Cinderella, etc. Any old nursery story you can think of was on those tapes. I have a book of all the classic stories in a black leather bound book but there is nothing like having Grandpa Time read them to you. I got mine when I was 6 and am now 27. My mom is looking into finding it for me. If she does, I will put another post as to how to purchase.

Has anyone seen or have a copy of the TV commercial for "Grandpa Time?" I checked YouTube and Google video but no luck. I was "Puss in Boots" in the commercial and would love to see this again. The commercial, shot in San Francisco, featured a whole host of fairytale and fantasy characters walking up a ramp into the clock. I think I only saw it once. :) Thanks! Steven StevenKirk.com steve@StevenKirk.com p.s., here's a continuity photo of me in character from the day of the shoot. :) i58.photobucket.com/albums/g257/misterfusion/pib.jpg

I have a Grandpa Time and four tapes (Favorite Tales, Enchanted Stories, Classic Fairy Tales and International Tales). Not sure how to post the photos of these. I am still searching my basement for the adapter or will see if I can find a 9V adapter to substitute. If anyone knows how I can post my pics of these, let me know

Oh yeah, I can be contacted at writerintherain@aol.com. I did post a couple of photos of Grandpa and tapes but now can't find them anywhere.

My daughter had a grandpa time and it was her favorite toy. She saved hers but it will not work. We would love to have one for the grandchildren. If anyone has information on purchasing please email me at - ddukes@rose.net

I still have mine... and will never throw it away...I was born in 1986. It is the toy I will spend more money than it is worth to keep it in working condition.

I have a Grandpa Time clock but my biological father (who thought he could fix everything) took it apart to fix and never put it back together. I still have the tapes but I am looking for another Grandpa Time. Anyone that has one (or knows anyone) willing to sell theirs....PLEASE let me know. thanks

I had a Grandpa Time when I was little and now that I have my own daughter I would really love to get her one. We are having a rough time with bed time and I know this helped me like bedtime. If anyone is willing to sell theirs please let me know. I would love to get it for her for Christmas. ashleytippit@gmail.com

I have searched for this for so long. If anyone is willing to sell the toy and tapes please let me know. If you have an idea of where to find it please let me know. The memories of this toy mean so much to me. foley949@sbcglobal.net

I bought one for my gr.children 18 years ago, someone threw it out, ugh!!!just found one at a flea mkt. no tape or adapter, I have it working and remember pretty much how to set it. need tapes, could use correct 9 volt adapter..thanks jagmag3@comcast.net

I really, really want to buy a grandpa clock, with tapes for my 1 yr. old. I've gone to ebay, but they only have 2 to choose from, and they both have quite a few bids on them, and they don't even come with tapes, so I'm not interested. I've read that people here are selling their grandpa clocks. If anyone still has one to sell, please let me know! my email address is jess_hobson@yahoo.com

I had the most extreme, horrific, out of body fear from this clock. Now being twenty I still remember the eerie/perturbed voice, it would turn on and play tapes randomly, wake my brother and I up in the morning yelling time to get up so strangely we would be terrified. I hallucinated the clock running toward me, and my mom said she found me in the hall screaming running in place. My cousins had the clock and loved it, we got it when they grew out of it and feared it immensely.. not a joke, just the closest I've been to experiencing pure evil, I would love to see one again in person.

My children had this clock and we loved it. My middle daughter begged my youngest to allow her to take it to Band Camp with her. Finally the youngest agreed. Grandpa Time was broken at camp and my children were crushed. We still have the clock and tapes in hopes of finding someone who can fix it for my grandchildren.

I am looking for a grandpa time clock for my son. I had one when I was little. If anyone finds one or the accessories they want to sell please contact me at Nealda2006@yahoo.com thanks

I still Have My Clock but, it does not work well at all. Now that i have my own children i would like to get another one. Do they still make them or not?

I am also looking to purchase this for my kids. I would need everything, clock, power cord and tapes. I would love the box but it isn't necessary. If you are trying to get rid of it, please email me .... kcgroethe@hotmail.com Thanks!!

I too am looking for one of these clocks. I had one when my children were little and they absolutely loved him. Now I have a grandson and would love for him to experience this toy as well. Why would such a wonderful toy go out of commission. I'm surprise that another toy compmany has not marketed something similar to it. Let me know if one is available please.

They only produced the clock for one year because it got overshadowed by Teddy Ruxbin. Anyways, i am also looking for this Grandpa Time. I would need the clock, power cord, and tapes! Please let me know if any become available!!! a_jmartin@yahoo.com

My parents are doing some "Spring Cleaning", along with myself and I have found my Grandpa Time. I fell right back in love with him! I looked at my husband as I pulled it from the box and instantly said, "I'm keeping him!" I'm so glad I found him; now if I can find where in the world we put my Willow Tree collection!

Could someone who has the original power cord/power supply please tell me what the requirements are? (how many volts, how many amps?) The one I have doesn't have a power cord, so I'll need to get one from Radio Shack or something. Thanks so much!

I am interested in buying the tapes for Grandpa time. Does anyone have them to sell? I can be reached at dedepest@aol.com Dee

As like the majority in this room I am also interested in the Grandpa Time clock and tapes. I am in the military in Iraq and am wanting to get one for my mom who misses me so much back home. She still talks about how much she loved this clock. In the slim chance anyone is willing to part with theirs, I would be willing to purchase it from you. I can be reached at ifyoudontlovemehateme@hotmail.com.

My husband is putting together a laptop program for me that will act like a Grandpa Time (play the noises at the right time, play the stories at the right time) because my actual machine doesn't work anymore. We had a really old laptop lying around that can't be used for anything else these days, so this will be great. Unfortunately, I only have 2 out of the 4 tapes. If anyone could send me a copy of the 2 other tapes, I would happily send them either starbucks cards or the copy of the program. :)

I had the grandpa time clock and most of the tapes, unfortunately my house was broken into and this and my 420 dollar walmart wedding dress was the only thing stolen , BRING BACK MY GRANDPA TIME! you can have the dress,..But I still a tape titled Favorite Tales , if any one is interested e-mail me DLambdin0805@cs.com

I also had the grandpa time clock when i was younger. My father in law passed away a few months ago, and my kids are having a hard time with it. I thought that maybe having the clock would put a smile on there faces..if anyone is selling a working grandpa time clock with all the tapes and power cords, etc. please contact me. thank you thomas.apryl@yahoo.com

I have been also looking for the clock for many years now - I miss this greatly and would love to give to my daughter some day. I am willing to pay top dollar for this if anyone is willing to sell in working condition and with all of the tapes... after my parents divorced this was the only thing that helped me fall asleep, and very dear to my heart. If anyone also knows of a childrens clock similar to grandpa time, please let me know! :)

I'd love to find one for my kids I think the toymakers should make a new one with the same stories of course

I had one when I was really young, I'm 27 now, my mom lost custody of my brother and I & in turn I lost everything I owned as a child. Grandfather Time is my favorite if anybody knows where to find one please call 15024922915

does anyone know who or where I can get one repaired, I have one that the alarm doesnt seem to work and the tape dosent either and the little light is burned out.HELP

I had one as a kid we loved it. wish I could find one my 5 kids would love it. The first time we used it I remember it said "oo ah its time to be in bed" for some reason my sister and I found this so funny we laughed so hard. we played the tape over and over tring to here it again but never did :( Wish they made a newer version maybe with CD this was an awsome clock.
