I love pedestal clocks and I love to see coloured tiles on a flip clock, so when I saw this Citizen 7RD009 I needed to get it!
Here it is next to the Citizen 7RD007:
The movement of these two clocks is exactly the same. Both are driven by a "transistor switched balance wheel impulse motor" (now that is a mouthful) powered by a 1.5V C type battery. And both have the fancy alarm where a small DC motor swings metal rings around that hits a real metal bell.
I bought the clock in a rather used state. It was covered in paint splatters and showed some rust here and there, but nothing that a little elbow grease couldn’t resolve. Way bigger problem was that (contrary to what the seller said
) the motor was not running properly. It was a big puzzle but in the end I was able to fix the issue, see this post.
