Welcome to the 22nd short from Flip Clock Fans - our ongoing effort to catalog all the flip clocks in the Flip Clock Fans Collection. You're looking at the Copal Model 705L Black light Alarm Flip Clock.
Welcome Flip Clock Fans
This is the Copal Model 705L flip clock alarm - first showing up in newspaper advertisements in 1974, it was clearly a higher end flip clock, priced 80 to 100% more than comparable models.
The clock features a solid anodized aluminum case and digits with black light reactive paint. Unfortunately, finding one of these clocks with a working original black light is essentially impossible.
You'll hear of many solutions, but the simplest and safest solution is to buy a short length of high density ultra violet LED flex strip and a power supply. This will cost you about $25 dollars before tax.
The clock is clearly well-lit with this solution (using only 3 leds from the strip) and the power supply fits securely and safely within the clock.
