It's stylish in a late 70s kind of way - wood effect, metallic grey panelling and black detals throughout and lots of shiny "chrome" controls. The unit has a decent tuner which picks stations up nicely, is true stereo (a light in the front indicates radio broadcasts in stereo) and it produces a good rounded sound from the twin speakers on either side of the body. Rather unusually, the SDC18 has an auxiliary input for incoming audio, making this quite a useful modern-day appliance for use with phone, MP3 player or even with a wireless audio adapter.

These features are on top of the more standard things you'd expect - radio or buzzer alarm, snooze and sleep controls and so on.

The flip clock mechanism works flawlessly and although the illumination is not what it would have been when new, it's usable. The tuning and volume controls are a little bit crackly but not bad at all. The unit is in very good condition with no chips or cracks to the body. There are some minor dents to the top surface near the "snooze" button and a few minor scratches and grazes and signs of wear throughout, but nothing very distracting or noticeable. All in all, a very uncommon item - and very bold aesthetically - which stands the test of time, particularly because of the AUX IN option it provides and the quality sound it outputs.

The unit measures approximately 37.5cm (14¾ in.) across the front, 18cm (7 in.) from front to back and 13cm (5 in.) in height. All measurements include any protruding knobs or controls. Please get in touch if you require specific measurements.

]]> Wien Solid State Flip Clock Radio https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/wien-solid-state-flip-clock-radio/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=wien-solid-state-flip-clock-radio Tue, 26 Oct 2021 21:40:02 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=46070 It's all about the looks with this vintage flip clock radio/alarm. It's not one of the big brand manufactures - Copal or Sony or Toshiba or Panasonic, for example - but it does have an aesthetic appeal all of its own. The white (now somewhat cream in colour) casing with a dominating tinted front panel and subtle curves has more than a hint of space-age design to it. The curved plinth-like base, the subtlely curved front, and somewhat minimal black buttons and controls add to this overall sensibility. The monolithic sleek front is the headline, though - even the maker's branding is subservient to it, almost an after-thought and certainly not allowed to detract. It's a good-looking item from a relatively uncommon maker, and it has all the features and functions that one would hope for: dual band radio, sleep mode (up to 60 minutes), and wake to buzzer or radio.

In good condition, notwithstanding the discolouration, and in fully working condition. Reasonable offers welcomed on this item.

]]> White Toshiba FM/AM Flip Clock Radio RC-803F https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/white-toshiba-fm-am-flip-clock-radio-rc-803f/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=white-toshiba-fm-am-flip-clock-radio-rc-803f Tue, 26 Oct 2021 19:47:52 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=46042 One of the most stylish and instantly recognisable flip clocks, this is the Toshiba RC-803F. With more than a hint of space-age design, this flip clock probably doesn't need too many words of description - the photos will do most of the talking!  But, let's start with that shape - a sloping front dominated by a full face display with massively rounded corners, with the curves leading into a flattened pill shape with distinctive and almost over-sized silver coloured knobs on either side for clock/alarm adjustment and radio tuning. Also on the front are controls for tone, volume, mode and radio band, leaving only the sleep control in a recessed hollow on the top of the unit. The rest of the top is dominated by the aforementioned curves and the speaker grille. It's a bold design and it works beautifully.

In very good cosmetic condition and fully working. Sensible offers are invited for this highly sought after - and perhaps now worthy of the term "iconic" - item.
