Just got done with this restoration, a Copal 230 in overall good cosmetic condition originally, but it had a stuck rotor. I was able to get it going again and gave it the full tune up. The neon bulb in it was original and working great, so I left it. A little clean up and a buff, and it’s in nightstand service!
It was a little interesting to get the casing apart, but lately I’ve become a fan of the plastic “black stick” spudgers that I use at my work quite often. As you can see the case holds the mechanism directly in the middle, similar to the Seiko SD-571 recently posted about.
As you can see it has quite the odd alarm mechanism, it uses a lever to turn it on or off on the corner of the casing. It also features a mechanical snooze that goes for approximately 4 minutes.
It is a cute little clock! It has a nice pop of color with the rear casing, makes me wonder what other colors were available for this model.
It looks right at home!
