I’ve always been fascinated by this kind of clock mechanism. Great job demonstrating radiation detection. I was amazed the Rolex was so much “hotter “ Radium was quite expensive so they probably used a more potent mix.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Glad my demo passed muster from someone who knows that technology better than I do. Yes I was a bit dismayed at how hot the Rolex seems to be. Thanks again.

I appreciate all the detail in your vid, I always feel kinda lost servicing those movements! LOL! Great job!

Hi Tim, thanks. Glad you liked it and thanks for the comment.

Hey PF, nice work on the clock repair/cleaning. I have a GE model 535 which I believe is basically the same clock movement, but my radio chassis is a 6 tube with tuned RF. I acquired it some time ago and now I can't remember if the clock was even with the radio when I bought it on eBay. But from pictures I've seen, the clock looks just like that one. :)

Thanks. The radio seems to perform ok for a AA5 so a tuned RF stage must be really nice. The 535 is a nice looking radio. Glad your back is better.
