Hi guys, I might as well post a few photos of my collection... :-)
Telefunken digitale 101, 1970 - 1974, I think. I love this one religiously. It's rather huge, it was marketed as an "office clock" for a whopping $110 back then. Its condition is great, the clock works just fine, and the radio is maybe the best I ever heard.
Saba RC11 and Siemens alpha. Both have issues, unfortunately. They're quite noisy, there are quite some scratches and cracks on the cases, and the hour tiles of the Siemens are stuck sometimes. No biggie, because...
...I have another one that's working perfectly. :-) I'd prefer the orange case, tho.
This was the first flip clock I bought. It's a generic clock radio from "Quelle", a now defunct mail-order firm that wasn't exactly known for its high-quality products. The digits for the minute display are separate, but it doesn't work to well - the tiles are stuck quite frequently, and the radio reception is really bad.
If you think this one looks familiar, you're right - it's exactly the same model Friendly Scientist posted, but his one is from JCPenney. :-) Unfortunately, it doesn't work at all, the neon bulb is lit, but neither the motor nor the radio work. I guess it's the power supply, I'll look into it.
