    Cheap Copal 602, for parts only?

    It seems to be missing a knob, but this seems like a deal if someone can get it working again.

    I've seen it indeed but I've overspent for this month already and then there is a large box waiting for me in Japan, waiting to be sent out (after I pay the humongous shipping fee), so I'll pass. It could be a good deal, even if it were just for parts.

    If someone needs the missing knob, I can be of assistance

      Haha...same thing here. Bunch of stuff in Japan waiting to ship. I have been moving amplifiers from there, too and those cost A LOT due to the weight

        That is even cheaper than just the knob!

        (... and this is the wrong knob btw: the one missing has the left handed thread.)

          that knob is actually rare, the white version of the 602 is very, very rare... I have only owned 2 of them in the past 15 years as opposed to the woodgrain version, I stopped counting those. I'm not saying that it's worth the 15 euros or that it will sell for who in the world would be searching for it, but who knows.

          Honestly, if I would find another white 602, I would keep it, it would not be for sale

            Blimey! I recently got hold of a white (yellowed) 602 as part of a lot of three broken clocks. The 602 was easy to fix. Just some lubrication of the motor and replacement of a blackened bulb. It is missing that left hand threaded knob. As a workaround I borrow the knob of a wood grain 602 I also own when I need to set the time.
            My plan is to replicate that knob by moulding using blue stuff and gorilla plastic. First attempts are promising but I haven’t fully mastered the technique yet.

              I ended up snatching this one. It's polishing up well, sourcing the missing knob from flipoclock .
