    Replacement Flaps for Newer Battery Flip Clocks

    There are some replacement flaps for this style of clock, being sold on ebay and amazon right now. Either the hour or minute side with a choice of black or white tabs. Price is $11.95 (free shipping) for each set.
    I picked some up out of curiosity, as this flap seems to be used in many iterations from aliexpress and the battery operated desk clocks out of China currently.

    Notes: The minute set has 00-59, the hours am, pm displaying each hour twice.
    The model number of these are: F001B (one I am showing), other options are F001W (same but white tile), and a F018b (appears to be black larger tile, not the one I have)

    These measurements should help people determine if they are a fit for their clock. I know we have people come through trying to fix these types of non vintage clocks.

          This thread from RetroFlip inspired me to make a custom flip clock (see the thread).
