I finally got my hands on one of these little black light Copals. It's got a lot going for it style-wise. Of course the black light is great. I was very surprised to find the factory light still doing just fine. I did have to pop a new green neon in by the alarm display. I have some new old stock neons that are much better than what I've found new - the color is perfect. Unfortunately there's a crack on the corner of the face of the clock, but it's not too bad.
Not really a restoration but it was interesting to try to figure out how to open this clock up. Seems Copal didn't want me inside of it.
It was advertised primarily around 1977-1979 and seems to be one of Copals last entries into the American Market - a last hurrah maybe.
