A video of two of my old clocks, made about a year ago, maybe more in gmod. The first is a simple e1 digital clock, but chimes like Big Ben. The second doesn’t use wire, but uses a real pendulum to regulate time and 60:1 gearing in the hands. It uses a thruster to generate the torque to drive the whole thing.

The two clocks in this video have been around for as long as I can remember, and then they kind of disappeared. I found both of them recently, sitting in the darkness of my grandfather’s seldom-used workshop in his basement. I’d love to know approximately how old they are. They can’t be all that old, but I know they were around when I was very young–so I’d guess they are from sometime in the 1980s. These clocks use a simple flashlight bulb for their projection, and run it at lower than its rated voltage to prolong bulb life and reduce heat output, which is important considering that the entire projection unit is plastic like the rest of the clock. Both projection bulbs were burned out, both clocks had loose power plugs on them and corroded battery terminals. The more used looking of the two clocks actually had developed an internal short as the litz wire going to the power plug and battery areas had been twisted around and around until it shorted things out.

I always wanted a digital clock for my 1999 Rover 800 Coupe, rather than the Anologue Clock that was standard on the late 800’s. So, when a New Boxed one came up cheap on ebay, I just had to put in an offer. The seller accepted and the next day I received my £6.50 clock! Not a bad saving on the £92.87 list price! I was originally going to move the old clocks and switches down and fit this clock in (although that was going to take some modifying!), but as I needed a connecter for the clock (the digital has 4-wires as opposed to the three needed by the anologue clock.) I went off to the scrappers hoping to find a connecter in a Rover 200 or 400. Imagine my surprise to find a J-Reg Rover 800 with digital clock fitted. Its clock had some damage because someone had levered the radio out, but at least I got the connector I required for my New Clock! The car also had the correct switch housing / coin tray for fitting with the digital clock, and the plastic seperator that fits hidden between the clock and switch housing and holds them both in place. So I gladly handed over a fiver for the parts. Now the fitment was going to be so straightforward, I put the 2 extra wires in that I would need direct from the fuse box (one from the side lights {fuse 14}(connected to red/orange wire of top left connector) and one from the cig lighter socket {fuse 5}(connected to purple/red wire of bottom right connector)). The other 2 wires I needed were a constant live and an earth, these were both …
