Does it work on a gear and pinion principle or an AC synchronous motor?

Obviously, the next logical step is a Home Assistant integration.

Gorgeous building and a nice wee pub across from it! A couple of friends of mine used to stay not far from there.

I've half an idea I did some networky stuff for the Community Wardens probably around the time that chime box was fitted - if you see anything marked Alvarion or Ceragon, it's probably got my real name on it somewhere.

I'd love to poke about in there some time, maybe if I'm down in that part of the world I can jump in and volunteer to help too.

One of many old clocks in Edinburgh that needs fixing. The one on the Balmoral Hotel had to get a lot of work done.

There were three identical street clocks in Edinburgh that the council there have tried to remove. They succeeded with the one at Tollcross.

I thought it was scheduled to come back. Just not in exactly he same place.

Is the Jawbone coming back?

I dunno if setting the time counts as fixing...

sure it does. the mechanism was no longer functioning properly. and its a repair even moreso considering the unknown nature of the system.

sometimes you get paid because you know things, sometimes you get paid because you know how to figure things out.

Yeah I repair old cameras these days. The amount of cameras I've fixed by just poking at random stuff until it unjams is surprisingly high. Even more so the number I've "fixed" by just replacing the batteries.
