Toshiba Electric Alarm Clock Ohayo TCM-953 (Rhythm Industries 5RD-025 CITIZEN High Leaf Curtis OEM product) This is a rare red and blue two-tone model. It appears to be from 1989, and it seems that flip clocks were still being manufactured until the Heisei era. I acquired and maintained this as a hobby, but I am selling it because I no longer need it. This is a product that has been maintained and serviced so that the popular retro-looking flip clock can be used for a long time. It is the same product as the popular High Leaf Curtis, but it is a rare Toshiba product. It seems that OEM production was also done at the time. Flip clocks made by Rhythm Industries, which have been manufactured and sold for nearly 30 to 40 years, are still very popular, but unfortunately, almost all of the products sold on Mercari and Yahoo! Auctions have had the claws of the flip part cracked due to aging, making it impossible to display the correct time. The claws of Rhythm Industries' flip clocks of this era are made of rubber, so they will crack due to aging regardless of whether they are used or not. Even if it says "beautiful condition," "operation confirmed," or "unopened," unfortunately, most of them are "defective products." In particular, the individuals listed with the flip tilted are clearly showing this symptom. Even if you buy a product in this state, you cannot use it as a clock. (※See photos 7 and 8) Also, in the movement, which can be said to be the heart of the clock, even if it works, the gear part may run out of oil due to aging, and an unpleasant operating sound of "gigi gigi" may often occur. If you buy such an individual, it is too noisy to use in the living room or bedroom. This product is for those who are looking for a popular flip clock and do not want to regret buying a defective product. The claws of the cracked flip part have been replaced with new ones, the movement part has been disassembled and serviced, and high-lubricity grease has been re-applied to prevent unpleasant noises. Of course, it works normally and can be used as a clock. We hope you will consider it. #CITIZEN #FlipClock #ShowaRetro #MidCentury #SpaceAge Taste: Retro/Mid-Century Function: Flip/Flip Function Display Type: Analog/Digital
