Never store your flip clock by wrapping the cord around your clock. Or maybe this will happen.
This picture is from an eBay Listing and in the description the seller states, "Please note that there are some type of gouges or something on top and edge of this. I have no idea what would’ve caused that and although they don’t alter the functionality at all, I still wanted to bring it to your attention."
I don't think he needed to bring it to my attention ... kind of stuck out there.
So unless someone took a soldering iron to this, or rested their cigarette on there - several times, I'm about 99.9% sure that the cord was in contact with the clock.
I have found a cord touching a clock for an extended period to definitively be the cause of this type of damage. I believe it probably takes years. The clock I had, without a doubt, had damage just like this from the cord (I had to pull the cord away from the clock).
The material of the cord clearly is made with something that the plastic does not like.
So, Don't do it flip clockers.
