Not only swap the guts out, redesign the PCB and make replacments. Shouldn't be too hard...

2024-06-09 22:13:42 +0000 UTCMy remember my grandad and grandmother having a Lumitime on their bedside table when I was very young. It was one of the larger brown and woodgrain looking ones. I believe it had a radio in it aswell. Im going to go see if I can dig it out of the attic. I know its there bc grandad never would have threw away anything which cost so much lol. Maybe I can fix it. Or send it to Fran as a gift!

2024-06-09 13:22:10 +0000 UTCExactly - clocks are intended to keep time. Use 'em while 'ya got 'em.

2024-06-09 13:21:21 +0000 UTCFor the Japanese models there would be 50/60hz selector gears that could be swapped out for their dual standard power.

2024-06-09 12:58:36 +0000 UTCIt'll be so sad when all of these Lumitime clocks have deteriorated past the point of no return. At least this one was well-used and enjoyed.
