The Start of (possibly) Many Teardowns

Have you ever had the urge to take a screwdriver to something to take it apart just to look inside it?

I have. Just today I did this.....


I purchased this Acctim alarm clock last year, during my crazy eBay binge. Its fully-mechanical! Yes, you can buy a mechanical spring-powered clock made this century. That's why I bought it. Cost me less than £10. 

Now, I do already have some form of alarm clock at home when I bought this. So why did I do it? 

The answer is above. 

Yes, I bought something just to take it apart.

In fact, I bought a few things just to take them apart. It's only now I got the time to do this teardown. And more are planned in the future, so watch out.
