Listing says more than 10 available.....how about a 6-digit clock ? ka-chunk...ka-chunk..

If I was still collecting paychecks from Intel I would give it a whirl.

For some reason I really fancy building that, especially if I used my random second length code on it. No UK postage though or spare cash.

Make an offer. I just bought four for $90.

I'm happy to get any check.

When you get yours, give us an update on how they look. I'm a bit skeptical about plastic parts made almost 70 years ago. Maybe I'll do something irrational and make a 6-digit clock. After all, if it's going to be noisy, you may as well make it obnoxiously noisy.

I have a dozen coming, lets keep this thread going with any results! Hopefully they wont end up sitting in the draw along with my collection of pinball score wheels!

I just received four. There is some damage to the paper numerals in places but no show stoppers. Two are yellowish, the others more orange.

One is jammed. A contact touching the rotary switch is bent downwards. I'm puzzled as to how that happened without human intervention. Divine intervention?

Excellent. It's a very clever design and someone else just saved us the trouble of figuring it out.
