Trying to go through some of my clocks and share...
These are two NOS copal 226, imported from Japan several years ago.
I posted one of the manuals a while back: https://www.flipclockfans.com/forum/...nese-flipclock
The Blue one has a original price of 2,700 yen and a external 50/60 switch on the back, the red has an internal switch(see other post above) and a suggested retail of 2,500. Blue has a white case and white cord, red has a light grey case and cord.

How to set the time
1. Simple method (Use this method in general.) While the power is on,
turn the time adjustment dial to proceed for about 2 minutes from the current correct time.
In the example, it will be displayed at 10:02 AM at 10:00:00 AM will be displayed at PM 10:00 at 9:58:30 PM
2. A more accurate method (how to match with the time signal) While energizing, turn the time adjustment dial,
recommend for 2 to 3 minutes from the current time, then adjust, and at the moment when the minute number plate is changed,
AC Unplug the cord from the power supply. When the time displayed on the clock and the time signal are the same,
plug the AC cord into the power supply to get the correct time display.
