Reply to "GTS Clock"

Is this an "Electronico" or "Quarzo" or ???? type of a clock?

Or is it vintage "pre-electronics"????

The pre versions were just like you had in your old Mustangs and Camaros...."Click"....tic toc tic toc tic toc........CLICK....tic toc...tic toc..... There was a electro magnetic thing set up in the clock and a wind up spring....that would wind down after operating about 5-10 minutes...then contacts on the wind down portion would close, activating the electromagnet which would force the wind up thing to wind.....and repeat.

The electronico and quarzo were just that, electronic versions.......typically they just work...so don't beat them up too much!

You could put an ohm meter across the power lead to ground and see what you get.....open or direct short??

I have a stash of these clocks around in my shelves, but some are more noisy than others....they tend to keep good time....just noisy! Perhaps I need to dig them out and hook them up to 12V!!!! But wait, I need one!!!
