Anyone heard of a Bomartan Acrylic Digital Clock? - UK made

[flac...@my-dejanews.com]

Here's an interesting item I found left behind in a house I moved into in
May, and since there are a lot of UK people here and
that's where it was made, I thought I'd see if anyone in here knows about it
and what it might bring.

It's a Bomartan acrylic digital clock. New in the box (actually, I took it
out and ran it for a few weeks, but it did not appear to be aged thereby).
It's an acrylic block about 22 x 16 cm., with a circuit board embedded in it,
a digital display, and a warranty card indicating Latama Inc. at a N.Y.
address. The digits are red. The clock sets by touching contacts embedded in
the back (with some difficulty). There is no battery backup. I estimate date
of manufacture to be sometime in the late '60s or early '70s. The literature
spends a lot of ink on the wonderment of its microchip technology.

Any thoughts out there?

Hi,

I noticed your post of many years ago and can only hope that you have not changed your email address. I found the same clock but without it's power cord. I wish I could answer your questions regarding the clock but as I would like to try and make a new power cord. Can you please tell me the power details for this plug? I would assume that it would be written on the plug itself or within the manual.

Thank you and best regards,

Steve

Hi, just curious, I too have a Bomartan clock, it was my father's so it has some sentimental value. Unfortunately the power supply is bad and the label is missing...
Do you have any particulars on the power supply? Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Brad
