Update on the 340-4BBL Clock

[340six]

I was going to use 3-M tape commonly used to reinstall moldings /trim on newer cars. But used my 3-M commercial Poly-Gun hot glue gun. Glued a hanger on the base, and some here and there to hold the lid to the base after installing the clock kit.
Much better hanging on the wall than sitting in a box.
I do have plans to use it on a car again.
If I drop dead before that happens, my wife will probably sell it at a garage sale for 20 bucks lol. Maybe I should have put a note on the back saying not to?

But it's not digital and it has no numbers. How will millennials tell time?

Mess with them even more, the clock in my garage runs backwards.

My buddy said he would give me $50 to get rid of if.
He is dyslectic and he says it messes with him bad.

Screw the $50 he just has to deal with it.

imma do a millennial version.

it'll just be a shabby 2bbl air cleaner with no pie tin and an amazon digital clock stuck to it because that's more in the spirit and overall price range.

That is a cheap Amazon clock. I bought one for my Mopar Clock in the living room broke when daylight saving time had me change it.
So bought 2 one for the Air Cleaner.
Takes one a AA-battery
I need a Super Six lid to make a 3rd one for my guest room

Naa i need it so the malinials will be late. The master plan is:
Late to the appointment to get their green hair color changed to blue. Then they can't go to the Side Show or the protest to block the streets I drive on. I am playing the long game.
Contrary to popular belief. You would think the lazy, jobless, phone zombies, normally moving at a snail pace, are Guinness record fast. How do I know, you ask!
They tried once to block my wife in. The lazy and jobless, and normally slow moving loosers do jump out the way very fast when you bang the gas to the floor.
Tried to block my wife in she floored it.
Both her reaction time and them getting out the way had to be Guinness Record worthy.

BTW I have a car that needs the Air Cleaner you have (1972_73 one). But shipping would kill it.

I have a backwards clock a friend gave me years ago. It looks like a big pocketwatch. lol

1968, Treasure Island, CA going to Navy Electronics Technician "A" school, we had a magnificent amateur radio club. We had a clock, there that ran backwards. Those used the old synchronous motor, just tear the motor apart and reverse the stator and put it back together.

This was likely taken after I left. We had various, usually 3 "operating positions" or "stations." The main station, the VHF/ UHF station, and this was usually referred to as the CW or RTTY position. CW means Morse code, RTTY, pronounced "ritty" means Radio TeleTYpe. The receiver, a now expensive collectable Collins 75-A4, is the one towards the right with the black triangular bezel. On top of it is 1 part of a RTTY terminal which came from a mothballed ship up at Mare Island. A then friend had had some college ROTC training, and already had a military driver's license. He checked a Dodge slanty 1T stakebed out of the motor pool and we drove up there and got some printers and other items out of the ships. The printers here are old. The one printer is called a model 15, and to it's left you can just start to see what was called a "typing reperf" or "reperforator" chis means it has a keyboard (typing) and makes paper tape instead of printing paper. This is what is called "chadless" tape because the "holes" have a small tag which holds them in the tape, perventing a huge mess of discarded "holes."

The old RTTY paper tape was 5 bit, unlike the newer ASCII which is 8 bit. Thus, the old RTTY was more limited on what charactors or symbols could be generated. Keyboards on vintage TTY machines are odd. There is no upper and lower case letters, the letters are allways caps. There is an "letters" / "figures" selector, as the figures and punctuation is buried in the letters keyboard, which is only 3 rows. Typing on the old slow machines (radio amateurs then used what is called 60 speed) you'd hit a key and a fraction of a second later the machine would go kachunk--whir. so you had to learn to "time" your typing as a word like Mississippi could REALLY get you screwed up.
