That shape, those colours, unmistakable the 70's!
Philips offered this clock also in orange or white. And it was also sold by different brands, like Meister Anker or Garant. Who actually manufactured it I'm not sure. There is no label on the mechanism or anywhere inside, but the motor looks like it is produced by Rhythm.
It needed only little work when I got it:
- replaced the neon light bulb,
- lubricated the motor to silence it,
- slight adjustment of the alarm spring to get it to work reliably,
- general cleanup.
Some tips for working on this clock:
- two screws are hidden by the after feet vilt pads
- two more screws are hidden by white plastic inserts at the bottom (if they are still there, since it is near to impossible to get them out without damaging them)
- the knobs at the side can be simply pulled off (mine were very stuck, so I first removed the bottom and then pushed them out from inside)
- to free the mechanism from the alarm knob you need to first move it sideways
