Hi all,
We are looking for an engineer that is confident with heritage electronics and understands updating them to be in a public environment.
The Speaking Clock we are working with is getting ready to be on display at the National Communications Museum in Hawthorn, Melbourne, Australia.
The unit we are working on is (number 2) of the four Mark II machines produced in England for use in Australia. We have schematics, layout and assembly information.
The Mark 2 clock, which was a replica of the Mark 1, uses photographic soundtracks with quartz crystal oscillators and was produced in 1954.
This unit has been modified and has LED lights and Micro Amps that have been updated, we need to test these.
This machine runs, we need help checking it is safe for daily operation, help calibrating and servicing and potentially finishing the modifications that have been done.
Please get in touch if you are keen to work on this amazing machine!
