This neat Japanese market Panasonic Flip Clock radio is in great condition for its age, it's been cleaned and refurbished. Imported recently, this version of the RC-6030 has some differences compared to the NA market 6030, including a earphone jack, external antenna wires and a mechanical 50hz-60hz switch for the motor, so this clock should work globally (assuming it's powered with an 110v/120v outlet)
The clock has been disassembled and cleaned thoroughly, the motor has been cleaned and lubricated, the clock mechanism has been cleaned, The display bulb is illuminating. It has been reassembled and restored recently. This unit was recently tested for 1 week and kept time.
It should be noted that because this is a radio imported from Japan the FM radio band goes from 76MHzto 90 MHz, at least in the US that band runs from 88 MHz to 108 MHz, meaning there's only a ~2 MHz range for the FM band. The AM band is the same between both countries (53 kHz to 160kHz)
Additional things to mention:
The display light bulb has been replaced.The clock face has some scratches/marks.The 50-60Hz switch should probably not be moved while the clock in powered.Being a fully mechanical clock with age, I can't guarantee it will keep perfect time over long periods, but that is something that affects all mechanical and analog clocks.
May have some typical signs of use including surface wear, but overall very clean.
Flip Clock Measurements: 9.5" Width, 6" Depth, 3.5" Height, 6ft Power Cord.
Message me if you have any questions; More items like this on my store; Thanks for looking!
Additional info:Clock motor speed is governed by the Hertz from an outlet, i.e. a 60Hz clock will run slow in a 50Hz country, this is a 50-60Hz switching model, rejoice international customers!I learned how to do a 3 strand braid for the antenna wires :PTurning the clock mechanism backwards can cause the gear train to fail.
