Cute Vintage 1993 Sanrio Hello Kitty Pochacco Keroppi Blue Alarm Battery Clock

Description: This is a Cute Vintage Sanrio Character Town Blue Alarm Battery Powered Clock, copyright 1976, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1993. The clock works and keeps good time, but I was not able to get the alarm to work. See the Condition section for further details. The colorful 3 3/4" clock face has a cute image of Hello Kitty and three other Sanrio characters in the foreground, with "Character Town" houses in the background. This cute clock was made in 1993 or shortly after the last copyright date of 1993, it is either old enough to be 25 years old, and thus a vintage piece. It would be a great additon to any Sanrio / Hello Kitty collection! Condition: Operation The clock takes one C cell battery. As found, there was a battery and the clock was running. I took ethe battery out when I investigated the alarm as detailed below. When I replaced it, I adjusted the time, and the clock has been running for a number of days, and is keeping the time correctly. The battery compartment is clean and there is no sign of the battery leaking, so I am going to include the battery with the clock. I tested the alarm and I could not get it to work. By removing the press-fit time and alarm stem (in for alarm, and pulled out one notch for time setting, respectively), and removing two small screws, I was able to remove the back as seen. I was not able to see anything specific wrong with the alarm. I cannot say what the prospects are for getting the alarm to work again, and the clock is offered as found with respect to the alarm. By playing around the yellow alarm for the 'striker', I did get the alarm to strike a couple of times. As a result, I discovered that the alarm sound is electronic, i.e. the striker on top is NOT intended to strike the pink 'alarm bells'. They are simply for show to provide the look of an old fashioned alarm clock. Clock body, face, and paint - The clock body and clock face are in excellent condition. The clock paint is overall in very good condition. There are a few quite minor scrapes or worn spots on the paint. Most of these are on the yellow handle and the yellow faux striker. I marked most of these on one of the photos, but there may be a couple of others. Review the photos and make your own assessment of the paint as well.
