Ingraham Model 59-030 Simulated Digital Flip Clock

[Mackey]

Performa twisted my arm and made me buy this.

The McGraw-Edison Ingraham Model 59-030 Flip Clock features simulated digital numbers - Why? Because digital was a big deal in the seventies. Oh, it probably wasn't cool then and it's just strange today. But that's why we like it.

Very cool internal set up! Very much like my own Ingraham copal flip clock. Now I want one!

Oh great. Another clock I don't need...but want.

That's the truth right there!

Good looking clock sir! Thanks for the tour of the clock! Glad we could see S'More too!

You're welcome. I didn't go into it much but it's a bit of a pain in many ways. Getting the alarm bar "tuned" to sound better and stop buzzing all the time was a problem. Plus getting the mechanism and motor assembly in was a problem. That stupid snooze button kept falling in. Next time I'll Gorilla tape it in place from the outside.
then getting the wires configured so that they don't get in the way.
I did mention the oil spray. I should have shown more, the inside/bottom of the clock was filthy with it, but I had cleaned it before I thought to start taking pics.

It really took up more time than I expected. I have that Red Digital 24 that's sitting on my workbench that I want to do a video about. Didn't get to it this weekend because of that Ingraham. That's the problem with me. If something new comes in I just drop everything and get into that.

I know that feeling! Ah well, having too many cool things to work on is a good problem to have I'd say. Keep up the good work sir!
