If you have been waiting to purchase a very rare, serviced, one of the last Sony Digimatic flip clocks here you go! Check out this vintage, circa 1979 Sony Digimatic ICF-310W Flip Clock Radio,coming from my private collection.
I've got too many clock radios and it's time to let some of them go. Follow me for future listings as I will be downsizing my considerable collection over the next few months.
One of the last Sony Flip Clock radio models produced in the late 1970s. Everything in this model looks more like 1980s styling. Soon after Sony dropped the Digimatic moniker and started using Dream Machine. This is fairly rare model.
- Completely disassembled and inspected all electronic components, radio tuner and circuit board.
- Inspected the clock movement for any dirt, blew out all dust.
- The Copal flip clock motor was opened and gears were inspected for damage/wear. The motor was lubricated. It runs quietly.
- Completely detailed piece and removed all dirt and dust, including 1/4" dust on top of speaker.
- Replaced incandescent time display bulb.
- All knobs were cleaned and lubricated. Tuner pulls in AM and FM stations nice and clear.
- The faceplate was cleaned as in front of the numbers usually gets cloudy after ~40 years of use.
The condition of this clock radio is 9+ out of 10. Case is in great shape with minimal wear. Everything is working perfectly. Everything is original. Nothing was refinished or painted. No modifications besides repairs to return to original like condition were made. The face plate is good and clean with no cracks and has normal scratches from wear and tear.
This is a harder to find, good collector grade piece in serviced condition and would be a great addition to any collection. Please examine photos carefully. I'm a flip clock fanatic and own many of these radios. I love bringing old flip clocks back to life! If you see my past sales, you will see I do great work and have nothing but positive feedback.
If you want a great flip clock radio, buy from a collector, someone who really cares about these pieces and isn't just selling something they don't know anything about. I buy clock radios here on eBay also and I can tell you about half of them I get have issues/problems that weren't in the listing. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! I took great care to prepare this piece. My pieces are clean and beautiful and are wonderful to look at. Buy from another seller who is just reselling a piece and take your chances or buy from me and know this radio is going to arrive undamaged and work great.
I have a lot of experience with flip clock radios from my electronics background and collecting vintage clock radios. I have other pieces for sale here as well.
I'm a serious seller and I don't play games with buyers. I try to represent the pieces to the best of my knowledge and I am glad to answer any questions you may have. Please examine photos carefully and ask me about condition before purchasing as there are no returns accepted.
Item will be packed carefully...with lots of bubble wrap and Styrofoam (the way the radio was packed when new). I can't tell you how many poorly packed radios I've purchased on eBay that arrived damaged in shipping. Yours will arrive in undamaged condition. I promise you this clock radio will work perfectly when you receive it but please remember this is a vintage item sold as-is with no implied warranty or guarantee. I will not ship to countries not participating in eBay's global shipping program. Foreign buyers, please note that this radio runs on 110V/60Hz mains and won't work or keep correct time on 220V/50Hz supply. Please no low ball offers....I take pride in my pieces and won't give it away. Please pay promptly...items not paid within three days of purchase will be canceled and relisted.
