I think NASA sent me this..It's going to Florida anyway. I think it is some sort of alien technology.
There are some wierd markings on the small box in the front that look like VR in a circle.
It must be from a planet where the days are twenty hours long!!!!
If you turn it, an audible alarm is made .....must be a signal for the end of an hour?????
It may be some sort of time machine, you can actually RESET Time with it!!!!!
It looks as if it should be coupled with another device...
perhaps a POWER SOURCE..........spooky!!!!

Looks similar to my 866 mechanism. A couple extra parts on this one that mine is missing, like the counter and the bell. Anyone make a replacement bell for one of these? Mine still has the "dinger", lol. I'm sure I'll never find the little counter box though.....

Area 51

small veeder root or air meter bells will work.
I have a few extra totalizers for clocks but none like this has.
Clock parts are hard to come by.
The totalizer WHEELS are made by Veeder Root and are the same as the side totalizer wheels but the front totalizer wheels will fit.... they just don't "TRIP" right.

Jkyocom, could you clarify for me what diameter or size of bell I would need, so if anyone had any for sale they could contact me? Would Jack's work?
Thank you,
Darin
