Alarm Clock Hacking

Not anything dangerous...Nor was it shot at 12:05 AM. It's just I've been monkeying with this particular (almost) antique alarm clock for the past few days, and found out its original alarm off button doesn't work. So, like any good hacker does, every time they want that alarm to shut off (besides snooze) they open it up and short the appropriate wires. Turns out, shorting just anything often works to reset it, and shorting the upper red wire to pin 4 on the chip shuts the alarm off for the day.
