Severe alarm clock failure

[azurelunatic]

So now, instead of just mashing one button firmly and holding another down until the appropriate time shows for the alarm on my alarm clock, I must hold down the Change Alarm Time button at a specific angle (any other angle and the command will not be accepted) and mash the Change Time Downwards Fast button *and* the Change Time Downwards Slowly button at the same time, or else the alarm time will proceed slowly upwards.

Said alarm clock is approximately eight to nine years old; I think it's time to upgrade.
