The main problem is that the flip clock is not working. I found out that someone was poking his little fingers in this, because one of the screws holding the case together is missing and also I feel that there may be some screws missing inside - the circuit board is held in place by only one screw.
Something must have fallen on the clock or the whole thing was dropped, the knobs were quite twisted.
It was quite filthy so I took it apart and cleaned it - I also straightened the knobs for setting the time, alarm and snooze time.
I have recently bought a Sanyo RM 8400 for 300 crowns (13$/10 €).
