    Kalorik model 313

    A good looking cylindrical clock, this Kalorik model 313. Kalorik was, and still is, a Belgian household appliances firm founded in 1930. But very likely this clock is a rebranded Artin, since at the bottom it says "made in Hongkong", the motor is made by Artin and I have seen the same clock with different brand names like Modern, Realtime and Pentagon, but mostly Artin.

    The sticker on the side is the kind of instructional sticker that you are supposed to remove after purchase, but no-one did. And since it probably will be still visible due to discolouration if I take it off now, so I leave it on. It is now part of the history of the clock.

    The motor had an issue that is common to these Artin motors: a cracked pinion gear. As you can see the rotor just dropped out. I replaced the pinion gear as described in this post and now it is running fine again.
