Tested and working. Clock runs, minute flip mechanism operates correctly, day display operates, alarm functions, light works and all adjustment dials and controls operate as intended.

Please note: When the clock reaches a new hour, the hour numeral changes approximately one minute after the hour rather than exactly on the hour. For example, at 7:00 the hour display may continue to show 6 until approximately 7:01, when it flips to 7. Apart from this delayed hour change, the clock is operating as described.

There are visible scratches, scuffs and marks to the faux woodgrain casing, particularly across the top, together with scratches and marks to the clear front display cover. Tested and working as described, including the alarm, day display and light. Please note the approximately one-minute delayed hour numeral change described above.
