Bulle Nº 67438

This clock is of the tall two plate, “A” type and dates from around 1926. The first thing to note is that the column looks a little strange!! The top and bottom of the column are all that's left of the original with a solid plastic type material inserted between. We can only assume that the dreaded battery acid has done its work and eaten enough of the original tube for it to be quite rotten and need replacing. The original tube was 55mm diameter and 0.5mm thick, so it is difficult to obtain. From the number that I have restored I believe them to be fabricated from plate rather than extruded. Anyway, we’ll see more when we disassemble the clock. Other than that, the clock looks to be in reasonable order.
