I'm so inlove with the blacklight flip clocks and radios. I almost have all of them except the Sony TFM-C660, Copal LP-248, SONY TFM-C620W, Emerson R5100A, Ken-Tech Model T-430 and Century Mark IV Model CR-400.

I really want the Copal LP-248 and I almost bought one. But after seeing that it missed the front glass and the seller didn't budge on the price I backed out. I also been looking for the Ken-Tech Model T-430 but never found a good one.

This is a NOS Copal 231L and it doesn't look as purple and bright in real life. I love the original blacklight the best and nothing can beat it looking period correct in my opinion. The led doesn't look period correct as I love restoring things back to it's former glory. But I'm very glad that the led exist so we can get them back looking very cool again atleast. The led conversion that I done to other flip clocks is much brighter then the 231L is originally. I do like more brightness but the original 231L looks very good too. I'm a very fortunate person that managed to find 4 NOS blacklight flip clocks that actually work as originally intended.



I also started collecting blacklight posters from the 70's. I'm using the old school fluorescent blacklight tubes which I think gives the correct retro look and light output. This is 2 of the 4 poster that I own. The scull is next to my bed so I can see it clearly. Me and my girlfriend jokes about it and say that I keep it there to give me nightmares. I'm allowed to keep that scull in the bedroom as it was my girlfriend who really wanted me to buy it.

Man that is awesome. In working with these black light clocks and doing the research for the video, I almost wanted to get a poster! As a kid I remember my cool (rich) friend had a brother whose room was all decked out in black light. Somehow, I don't think I'm going to be able to talk my wife into this one.
Thanks for the memories!

Nice one, seems to have been derived from the Sony one.
