Hi all,
I stumbled on this site as I was trying to fix an Falster RD 500. I have used it in my bedroom for some years and wanted to put some light in it to move it to my living room.
I knew that some tiles were missing and on opening it up I found two tiles with broken lips on the bottom. So I began surfing, found the superglue/soda trick on youtube which brought me here. The rest is history.
I'm not actually an filp clock collector. I'm an Flemish Belgian vintage audio collector and restorer for years. I don't have a technical background but have lots of experience with vintage speakers, vintage headphones turntables and vintage cd players repair/revision + more and more vintage receivers and amps. In general I like vintage electronics and vintage furniture.
My humble flip clock collection consists off a Falster RD500, a Manta RD500 which I picked up for 9€ only yesterday and allready is revised and got a place in my living room this evening. Furthermore the 2 versions of Telefunken Starclock 101, one of them needs further revision but I repaired the clock allready some years ago.Together with the Manta I got an Tokyo Spider with issues. That clock mechanism will be used for an upcycled flip clock design.
For me flip clocks mechs are fascinating, as fascinating as mechs of vintage full automatic turntables...
Attached pics of the Manta RD500 after I installed it in my living room.Some buttons gave been replaced by an previuos owner but I like it. Looks a bit like an vintage car radio that way lol.
