Hello to you all
hereby my small collection of flipclocks
I bought some time a go a Rc 7469, because I had fond memories of it from when I was a child, but it came with some broken numbers, that I was able to repair, (crazy glue / backing soda method)
so then I decided let me buy a other rc 7469 for parts, never know where it is good for, so I bought one as non working for parts, after cleaning all the numbers (sticky by some kind of soda drink) and cleaning the rest of the clock, it came to live again and turned out to be a nice healthy clock again, so damm still not a clock for parts !!!
so I decided to buy a other rc 7469 for parts, bought it as parts, but after closer inspection, the little fly wheel was jammed by the little cube that’s normally glued on top of the motor, so after so cleaning of the motor and lubricant it runs like a champ again, so again not a clock for parts (only misses the sleep button) but for the rest a nice clock !!
And then I bought 2 rc 6530, from witch I was able to make from 2 clocks one nice working one !
so this is a bit my collection and beginning of a other part of my addiction of collecting vintage equipment.
