Thank you for viewing. This is a Showa-retro wind-up kitchen timer, the "Notification Bell (TE12)" by National (now Panasonic). Operation has been confirmed. It was found during a cleanup of my parents' house, and it's a valuable item as it comes with the original instruction manual and user registration card. Main body: There are no noticeable scratches or stains, and it's in very good condition for its age. Outer box: The box has significantly deteriorated over time, with severe damage such as tears, crushing, stains, and discoloration. Please consider this item only if you understand that the box is in poor condition. Operation: I have confirmed that the bell rings when the spring is wound. 【Tips for Use】 Because it's a wind-up type, when using it, first turn the dial to around "50-60" and then set it back to the desired time. If you don't do this, the spring may not wind up sufficiently, and the bell may not ring. 【Other】 It doesn't require batteries, and the analog "jingle" sound is pleasant. It's practical for use, and also suitable for a collection of retro appliances or as interior decor. As it is an old item, please consider it if you understand vintage items. #ShowaRetro #RetroAppliances #National #National #KitchenTimer #Antique #Vintage
