Tymeter repairs...

 This is my old Tymeter shack clock. I've had this at least 40 years, maybe longer. It had always kept time well (and has a vintage look), but the motor burned out a few months ago. While poking around in my junkyard, I realized I had an old junker Galaxy station console with the same exact clock! I salvaged the clock, tested it, and transplanted it into my Tymeter bakelite housing. While I was at it, I touched up a few of the numbers with a Sharpie, and rubbed out the housing with some Flitz polishing compound. Not too shabby, and she's back in the shack, keeping time :-)
