First let me say thanks to Lance, Scott and Gary, without their help this would may never had happend. Thanks to Ron,Tom too.

I now have a new "guts" design for the clocks I have been making.
I now can build them to count,chime, and reset. They will still be actuated by the reset knob.
I have been working with Gary to design the frame to fit a Bennett 77.

Yeah, I know they aren't 77 hands but they are Bennett anyway.

The "guts" can be used in the replacement units and in the computer type as well.
They can be built with a combination of the three functions..count only...count,chime...
count,reset.....count, reset and chime.

There is a slightly frustrating process that has to be gone through in order to design a frame for a model I have not done. And the process may take a few months.

The B-38 is next on the list. After a few details are figured out, and parts made, I should have some blueprints for those as well.
Thanks again everyone,
Joe

I have to say, when Joe told me he could build a clock unit for my Ecometer, I was sceptical. But he took the time, made to necessary adjustments, and in the end, he built me an exact copy that bolted right in to place. I am more than happy, and am here to tell you if you have any doubts, get rid of them, this is top notch stuff, and the service is GREAT! Thanks again Joe...........

I also have blueprints for the one I built for Lance.

This was the first of the resetable clocks.
I have started on a frame for the Wayne 800,
and hope to finish up with that one soon.

Most of the parts for the guts are Veeder-Root, but all have to be modified.
There is a lot of time in the teardown, modification of the parts, and a good bit of $ in the materials, but the service is here if you need to finish a pump due to a missing clock.
Thanks
Joe

Hey Joe,
I could use 2 sets of hands like you show in the photo. Have any you could sell? Or know where I could get 2 sets?
Thanks, Jeff

Sorry , I don't have a complete set myself.
I don't know if Ron is making them or not.

Here is a replacement clock I just finished for Brian's Bodyshop, to go in a 39dp
that had been converted into a computer pump.
He got the hands and faces from Ron
