five days after posting about a newly acquired IBM/ITR master clock ( IBM/ITR 17-7 - wall art ) i saw this standard electric time master on craigslist for $60.
it had a base (and no hanger)... and was set up as a standing clock. i thought it looked funky so i didn't even take the base with me. i like wall clocks with seconds pendulums, so there you go. i'm not sure the paint job is original, but it's grown on me.
everything was good except for the escape wheel, which had been trashed. we (my clock mentor and i) had to seriously shorten the escape wheel teeth (both of us) and re-sole and adjust the verge (him) but it now runs great.
note: i somehow hit the slo-mo switch when shooting the first video... kind of like it.
