Kmart #SSK6200 Flip Clock Radio

[Sunboytoy]

Here is one of my favorite flip clocks from my collection. In fact, I like it so much I have two of them. It was made in 1973 by Sanyo ElectrIc in Japan for Kmart. While attending college in the early 1970s I worked part time at Kmart. I remember being fascinated by the unusual radios they often sold. I would often go into the appliance stockroom and dream of owning many unusual models. Most of them were very poor quality and made in Hong Kong. This Model however was only sold for a few months around Christmas and was manufactured in Japan. When new it was $49.95 which is well over $100 in today's dollars.The sound is very good. I also have a portable 3-Band Radio made in Japan by Sanyo for Kmart which is 46 years old and still in use everyday!
