Tanglewood 35TL04 Clock Radio

I haven't managed to find very much info about this online; snip is from a 1977 Charleston, West Virginia newspaper ad. Found it at a local indoor flea-market for a couple of dollars - marked "Does not work".

It does actually work though - someone had previously taken it apart, and got the short/long screws mixed up, putting it in a bind. Motor was a little sticky too... let it run for a while, no load, and it loosened right up.

It was an impulse buy, as it looked similar to a flip clock that I had as a kid, even though I don't quite remember exactly what mine even was...

I've never heard of a Tanglewood flip clock. And I have been around the block a time or two. But many companies who sold clocks would get their name put on a flip clock and sell it as their own. I couldn't find out much about any Tanglewood clock company although there are wall and grandfather clocks with that name.

I did find a couple of advertisements, but they really don't add anything to the discussion.
