    You can’t save every clock…

    I went to an estate sale for the first time yesterday. It was definitely a house that stopped being renovated in the 80’s, so I figured a flip clock was hiding around here somewhere. Sure enough, in the office / den there was a Channel Master alarm clock radio, but it had some MAJOR issues. The top piece was missing, the whole clock frame was moving around internally, and there were two knobs missing. For $6, I decided to leave it behind, as I don’t have a stockpile of parts.

    You can’t save them all, right?

    That was a nice clock, once..... Surely this is not saveable indeed. I would have brought it home but that is because I do stockpile parts, crates full of them

      That's too bad. These don't come up very often. (I would have grabbed those speakers!)

      Here's what it should look like when restored:
