![]() ![]() I didn't care for it much since it would be out-of-sync a minute every week, but as it went on the lag occurred more often. So around 6 months ago, I'd noticed this clock began lagging by a minute and assumed it was due to indoor temperature fluctuations or strange battery. Purchased : December 2018 via Online Order (Wayfair) Same as the 702.Item : Karlsson Flip Clock No Case, Black (KA5601BK) Very overbuild watch and looks modern, retro and futuristic at the same time. It has this look of "Goldie" and "Bronzie" that nothing around it is shaped like that. ![]() The "Goldie" Pulsar P2 that was made in December of 1972 (selling in 1973, same as the 702) and it was priced as some Rolex models. I did make a photo of the two watches I think it does reminds me of. I want a smaller, a bigger and a wall flip clock in the future. But most definitely this will not be my only flip clock. Maybe that is why I should not attempt to fix stuff that I don't know. So today the happiness was short lived - Bronzie worked good for half a day and now it's not. ![]() The shape of it and also the color gives it a "stance" Also it says 3 Watts rather than 6 Watts. Looking at Bronzie's serial number (101084) it appears to be higher than the one on the video (74091) which makes me guess they updated the mold of the plastic and now they are just smooth and no tabs. LOL Looking at the video and explanation - the side panels have tabs which were maybe shared with another model and they were held just by the screws rather than those tabs. I mean it sure did have more than plenty of dust inside the case.Īnother thing I noticed that Bronzie was probably an updated or "later" clock. I wonder if from removing it and rotating it side to side to remove the screws I may have introduced the accumulated dust on to the shaft or bearing. Gave it a few spins with a finger and now is was much harder to move than before. I could see the motor wheel moving with snail speed. Switched it on and off again and still nothing. I think it is important to say this was BEFORE I attempt to clean it whatsoever. Started to look around if I broke something but I did not. Started right up and in about couple of second it stopped. Once I slowly removed the mechanism from the case, walking it slowly without binding on the alarm indicator or the seconds wheel I powered it up. I am sure over time the rest of the dust will come around again but will clean it again if needed. I think now it is so much better knowing its clean inside. Took an hour with small painters brush to dust it off and even took the time to gently wipe off every single tile twice, just to remove all the grime that has accumulated over time. Picture belowīronzie was incredibly dusty. I noticed modern electrical tape on and around the switches for the alarm buttons and mechanism. So I didīronzie for sure was repaired of some sort. Give it few touches and it will come out alone. Watching the video of how to disassemble it I followed one rule I used to neglect - take your time and do not force anything. There are good news and bad news.īad news is only 1 - Bronzie stopped working ( This is the picture and on porpoise has flashlight so it can bring up the dustįirst time my wife saw it - she is intrigued by it.Īlright. 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 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 itĪlso i have 1 question. I watched the video for disassembling it and also for oil the motor. ![]() It has very little cosmetic blemishes and it is really dirty. I did offer $100 and seller accepted - YES 722, 601 and 702 for sure (mainly for the glass and aluminum body, no plastics)Īfter waiting for the right one, a bronze 702 came for sale on ebay for $185 with best offer. Now that i have one, i am i love more than ever.įor a while I wanted to buy at the least 2-3 different flip clocks. Have a Casio woodpecker alarm clock but never had a flip clock. Always been fan and have a collection of watches, especially japaneese ones. Born in 1990 we had Sony radio alarm clocks with the red numerals when i was little kid. I came here as some of the videos on you tube were from flip clock fans.Never had a flip clock before. ![]()
