    Kosei Digitor DS-108

    Recently found another Kosei Digitor cyclometer: the DS-108. And I think it completes the lineup, since I already own a Mini and a DS-107 and could not find any reference to other clocks by Kosei. Like the other two this is a nice simple cyclometer.

    The mechanism of the DS-108 is the same as the DS-107 and very similar to the Mini. The motor is the same one that is used by many Sankyo clocks. I bought it in non-working condition and had to open up the motor to fix it (using the method in this post). It was remarkably clean, but somehow the rotor got stuck. After freeing that up and some cleanup and light lubrication it worked fine again.

    And here is the complete lineup: Kosei Digitor Mini, DS-107 and DS-108.
