Anniversary Clock - 400 day with Dome - $29 (Round Rock)
QR Code Link to This Post
This is an anniversary clock that ran for years, and then stopped.
It is mechanical. It has the all-important dome.
Notes sent to an inquiring possible customer.
From doing this for years, I've found that the secret to getting a mechanical clock to work is fiddling with the mechanism until it works. It helps to have a mechanical engineering type of mind, i.e. you can imagine gears, etc. and how it should work - it's really not that difficult. Patience prevails. You do not have to know how the gears all mesh to make the hands move; just to get the “escapement” to work – the funny looking gear.
Specifically, I have several mechanical clocks in my collection, and I've moved onto my most cherished hobby: designing high-fidelity audio systems. So, I'm selling my mechanical clock collection or most of it.
To me, any one of them is a piece of art with the design of the brass gear train and construction of the wood boxes.
The large anniversary clock needs a little adjustment. It worked, and then it didn't. So, it's close.
