Help with Solari Cifra 3 please

[Cifra5]

Hi
I have just stumbled over this interesting forum and hope to be an active member here.
I have just bought a Cifra 3 Diapason (Jeco tuning fork movement) which was a non runner, but was a simple fix thankfully.
Does anybody have a PDF copy of the instructions for this model, not that they are needed, but would be nice to have.
Also does anybody know if the clock can be dated by serial number, and which was first the Diapason or motor wind movement, and does anybody know what years these two variants were made?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
R

Welcome Cifra 5. Great questions. I'm afraid that I personally have none of the information you're looking for. I'm hopeful that in our searches we can find the answers. I had run across a collector in Italy some time ago who seemed very knowledgeable about the topic. I'll look for my communications with this person. I hope that if you find any of the answers that you're looking for that you post here. Thanks

Ok, the fellow I conversed with in the past as a YouTube Channel
I have his email which I am forwarding you in a private message (so he doesn't get spammed).
Please let us know how your search for information goes.

Many thanks Mackey, have sent them an email.

Just bought this as a non runner, easy fix luckily.
But what a banana coloured stunner, it's got it all.....
1970s, tuning fork, flip digital :-)

Evening gents
It is rather nice :-)
I tried emailing the chap Mackey but no reply, I think he had a website too, this is no longer around, a shame really as I am sure the website had lots of Solari manuals.

I'm very sorry to hear that. We need to find someone in Itsly with connections.
