Where can I get one of these?

I want one of these "Retro Flip Clocks" but it appears Timex doesn't make them any more. Any idea where I can buy one?

This thread might help.

Good luck! As a child I used to spend what felt like hours staring at the flip clock in my parents' room.

I feel sure this advice is included in the referenced thread, but check your local thrift stores and garage sales and whatnot--or, failing that, Ebay.

Froogle. Just because Amazon doesn't have it don't mean it isnt out there.

BTW highlight text and click "link" > ctrl-v insert = pretty.

Best answer: I believe this is what you are seeking (vey close, anyway)

This post is another example of why the question-posting form needs to be improved. Title text does not apper on the main page, leaving just "Where can I get one of these?" there for scanners to browse past.

Fortunately it looks like lots of people have time on their hands :)

Hey, I had one of those the whole time I was little!

then my rat ate the wiring.

The alarm sounded like a fire drill claxon.
