I actually bought one of these off Amazon a week before this video came out… I ended up having to request a replacement since the minute tiles were falling off the one I got. Be careful when taking it apart, I accidentally ripped the alarm wire off the solder joint on the motor pulling the end off
It is cool tbat flip clocks are still being made. I just put my Coronado flip clock/radio back together and it runs very good ( radio tuner was cheaply designed) you should do a video on that brand
Funny you say that. I was thinking about breaking into it. Maybe after we see if it runs a week we’ll get into it. The mechanism moves like a Copal but feels puny. Hard to explain.

Thanks for the heads up. Mine is still working.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks. 😊
Knowing you, I thought we'd get to see under the hood of this one. I'm sure it's not all that impressive though LOL.

looks like they have ripped off Twemco
I’d say so. The Chinese have actually landed a spacecraft or two in the moon. I wish they’d apply themselves to making better flip clocks.
@@Flipclockfans yes I've had a few Chinese crappy ones. either they didn't keep time or didn't flip correctly
