Qualities: Very durable plastics, very good sound quality.
Problems: Plastic face plate is often sealed to the cabinet with heat (melting plastic tabs) making removal very difficult and perhaps unwise.
While not technically a problem, digital cameras at times render the "autumn gold" colored clock as almost a banana yellow. This can be seen in the image above. This is not a true representation of it's actual color.
Restoration Tips: Relatively easy to disassemble. If clock is not flipping, the motor probably needs to be cleaned.
