First post, just wanted to share my two flip clocks! I hit the local thrift stores often and have been keeping an eye out for them. Probably paid $6 total for both of them. The Panasonic RC-6253 is in pretty great shape. The only thing that doesn't really work is that the alarm just makes a monotonal drone instead of a chime. I'd like to replace at least replace the bulb in it, which is how I ended up finding this forum.
The other clock I haven't seen much information about online. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about it's history. It's a Soundscope, model number R725. It's a bit more worse for wear; a couple of the minute numbers have broken off, the radio is quiet, and touching any of the controls seems to cause the radio to go static-y. Keeps time like it should, though. It seems like it wasn't made for easy disassembly either.
Just figured I'd share my current collection, I'm hoping to find more along the way and tinker with them a little bit. If anyone's interested in additional info let me know!
