Recently, I found another clock I loved and the Mr said, "And just what are we going to do with ANOTHER clock?" :) Oh well, I may sneak another one in one of these days - you never know! hee!Sara In AZhttp://www.nopatternrequired.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-81941128052779101502011-10-17T18:58:56.973-04:002011-10-17T18:58:56.973-04:00I dream lo tech, the starbust clocks, well ANYTHIN...I dream lo tech, the starbust clocks, well ANYTHING starburst, are my favorites too!<br /><br />Kally, I will definitely do the tutorial soon - promise!<br /><br />Yep Amber, whenever daylight savings time comes around the Uncle is B U S Y.Uncle Atomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10727387676551708772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-12947452377994258042011-10-17T11:24:13.410-04:002011-10-17T11:24:13.410-04:00You are well covered in the event of a time/temper...You are well covered in the event of a time/temperature lapse!

Spares are impossible to come by without ripping apart another vintage clock, and I'm not capable of re-windng it as the wire is so fine. A battery conversion would be a great thing to be able to do with it.Kallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092876456911223989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-16088401612559024642011-10-16T15:16:42.712-04:002011-10-16T15:16:42.712-04:00Wowser, so much good stuff!
