    The Caslon MiniMod is a flip clock only little flipper from back around 1972. It's a quirky little bird being taller than the Copal 227 but not as wide. It has a glass front with "CASLON" lettering and when I picked it up, had the yellowest cabinet I've ever seen.

    Using Salon Care Creme Developer and some light, I was able to get the clock looking great in about 72 hours.
    See the article for details and more pictures.

    It's a nice addition to FlipClockFans Studios for sure
