My new clock

In the interest of recycling materials I took and old inoperable clock from a 911 and grafted the movement from a broken battery operated clock and grafted it into the 911 clock. I had an old cylinder jug from a defunct 912 and voila it fit perfectly (with gasket)

That's pretty cool. Do you have any old dilavar studs to out in the holes?

(And I hate to be that guy, but your clock isn't quite clocked...)

Nice.

I'd clean the cylinder fins more but that's just me.

Thanks fellas. I'm going to media blast the cylinder, eventually. The photos are "preliminary design studies"

BTW, thanks for rotating the photos.

Cheers,
Mike

very cool. I have been meaning (for a decade or so) to turn mine into a desk clock since it was working fine when I replaced it with a boost gauge

I have an old clock sitting/waiting on my workbench, too. Just need an old cylinder like the OP to turn it into a desk clock.
