Hi all. I came here as some of the videos on you tube were from flip clock fans.Never had a flip clock before. Born in 1990 we had Sony radio alarm clocks with the red numerals when i was little kid. Always been fan and have a collection of watches, especially japaneese ones. Have a Casio woodpecker alarm clock but never had a flip clock. Now that i have one, i am i love more than ever.
For a while I wanted to buy at the least 2-3 different flip clocks. 722, 601 and 702 for sure (mainly for the glass and aluminum body, no plastics)
After waiting for the right one, a bronze 702 came for sale on ebay for $185 with best offer . I did offer $100 and seller accepted - YES
It is working. Alarm works too. It has very little cosmetic blemishes and it is really dirty. This is ok for me, I will clean it up.
I watched the video for disassembling it and also for oil the motor. And also the night light is very dim. It is not the way it should be. Dimmer than normal dim.
The green light on the left works too.
Maybe i will try to see if it keeps time and will then maybe open it up or if someone professionally knows how to tune it up - let me know, i can send it
Also i have 1 question. If the alarm is on and starts buzzing - I snooze it and then it comes back in few minutes, this is normal, right? I think i have to switch it off from the back to shut up
this is the picture and on porpoise has flashlight so it can bring up the dust
First time my wife saw it - she is intrigued by it.
