Flip clock cassette player? panasonic RE-6600

[Thomas]

About a week ago, I wondered if there were ever any flip clock cassette players, and it turns out that panasonic made one around 1970.
There's a good video on it from VWestlife,

Any records of how much they go for? I need one.

I have see a few on eBay over the years, usually non functional due to broken belts. I never bid on one because they are too big.
The early Panasonics are some of the best flip clock radios you can buy.

I just bought one on eBay last week, and I can’t believe the size/weight of the thing. It’s impressively in near mint condition showing little to no wear...even the glass is scratch-less. I opened it up to change a bulb on the radio side (there are 2 of them over there), and even more to my amazement there wasn’t one dust bunny...zip zero! I don’t believe it’s ever been opened up in its 50 year life...it’s as if it has been in storage all this time. I’ll post a picture of it when I get the radio bulb replaced. Oh...and it has a BIG sound. The speaker is simply amazing

Oh you were the bidder. I was looking at that clock too. Haha!!

Yes, it was me lol. Here are some pics of the unit as found. The only problem I’m having with it is the sleep timer doesn’t work, and the straight alarm doesn’t put out a sound. The alarm wakes to music though. Can anyone help me trouble shoot this?
