Hi all,
here is part 2...

Remember that one of my Gran's electric clocks had been thown away. Well I managed to find an identical one. It has flakey varnish and is a bit bashed up, but it has an earlier more reliable mechanism which has not had much use. I might try to find a nicer example one day, but as a clock was needed in a hurry I simply lightly lubricated the motor, fitted a new flex and presssed it into service.

Actually with the clock on the mantelpeice you can't really see how nasty the woodwork is when you are sitting on the sofa.

One thing I noticed about both clocks is that the plastic covers of the workings seem to be made of styrene and they seem to react with the plasticiser of the electrical flex.

Err, that's it really.

Cheers
Andy
