Best Flip Clock Radio Restoration You'll Ever See | Retro Repair Guy Episode 35

Retro Repair Guy completely restores and repairs a vintage Flip Numeral Clock, the Chronomatic 104 made by Radio Shack Realistic in 1976. For this vintage electronic restoration I replaced all the capacitors, replace the tuner string and cleaned it all up.
