Spare Copal tile(s) wanted

[azimuth989]

Hello everyone! I was wanting to get the upper half of a "04" minute tile from a Copal clock mechanism. Anyone have any spares??

There's quite a few different types of copal mechanisms. What clock model?

Thanks for the replies peeps! I may be ignorant on the Copal models, but the sticker on the gearbox says E58. If this isn't the correct info, please direct me to the proper identification information. Thanks again!!

If you could post a picture that would help. I've got lots of spares.

[azimuth989]

Will do!! Thanks!

Here's the photo! My mistake on identification, the flywheel cover (shown in the photo) says GG-1743

Thanks for the photo. I'm going to go more by the font of the numbers than the motor number. the picture helps. I can tell by the bulb it is an earlier model. It would really help more if you could show the clock itself and/or give me the clock model number. I feel like I'm doing CSI. I have many extra parts and will be glad to send you what you need once I'm sure I have the right one.
Send my your mailing address via message so that I'll be able to mail it out once i find it.

Again, if you know what the clock model is, if you can post a picture of your clock or a similar clock from the web, it would speed up the process greatly.

Thanks so much! I'll get you more info shortly!!

Another thing I've done in the past is to have a person measure the tile. It can be in inches or cm and you don't have to remove a tile to measure.



I don't need a picture of your measure, just the dimensions.

A KMart model 30-23 AND, I will measure the tile too! 25mm wide by 11.5mm tall...?

well heck man. the tile I pictured above matches those measures.
It's ready if you want to try it!

Looking more closely, I think I've found your match in a JC Penny Clock (that would make sense too).


click for larger image.

I'm seeing a very strong similarity of the font style (note the #1) and the card or tile shape.

The inside of both halves of the case are imprinted "Property of Soundesign". Which also makes sense for KMart and JCPenny branded clocks!

Very Good!
Here's a video for tips about replacing the tile. I'm sure you could have done it ... but it's for all the peoples of the world....
