![]() I bought it for the price of a beer as the pendulum rod and weight was worth it alone. I picked it up a few years ago and the only original part to it is the slave dial mechanism (1909 to 1918) model and the pendulum, everything else is not original (including the dial) and someone had tried to make it work by using a break beam sensor and home wound electromagnets to give it it's impulse. This weekend I was up in my loft and noticed my 'parts' Synchronome clock. I suggested an Arduino with a real time clock module and a relay board should do the job as it only needed a pulse every 30 seconds. I was told that the owner wanted it cleaned and serviced and made to run, but he did not have a master clock for it. It would of been originally installed in a very large area and the dial was about 2 foot across with a lovely wood and brass case. ![]() The other week I went to visit a friend at their shop and they had in for repair the nicest electromechanical slave clock I have ever seen.
