G+_Benson Gregory Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 My work was just going to throw this out, so I grabbed it. I'm thinking it could be a cool base for the arduino clock build. Any thoughts or advice before I dive in? (It's a remote control for a radio station transmitter from the '50s.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 It's a gem.... don't remove ANYTHING! Well... perhaps remove them all to rust it up a bit, then clear coat it. Give it an aged, retro look. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_610GARAGE Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 It looks like you have 3 double throw toggle on the left. Maybe you could use those in conjunction with the dial in the center to change time. Have the first switch, up position change hour and maybe the down position change hour alarm. Then use the dial to change the time. do the same thing with the other two, but for minutes and seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Benson Gregory Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 After watching my 7 y/o son play with it for almost 1/2 hour straight (it's still in the trunk of my car) I concluded that I do have to make the toggles do something. I was thinking hooking up an LED or something, but setting the clock is a cool idea. At least for now that's well above my kung fu level at this point...

G+_Midwest Concert Video Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I love the DO NOT TURN COUNTER CLOCKWISE warning. What happens? Does time start running in reverse? Seriously, this thing looks like it was jettisoned from the TARDIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Marsh Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'm really digging the "mods" on the RF output meter. Sharpie FTW! I am also intrigued by the RH-only rotary switch/pot, and it's fancy label. Don't turn counter clockwise. I guess I have to turn it counter-clockwise.
