Clocks

« on: December 07, 2010, 03:44:21 pm »

CHaps

I have been admiring from afar the various soda point of sale electric clocks that appear on Ebay..

I have a 7up one that I aquired a few years ago that was made for the European Market.

My concern with the US Versions is not the 110/220 issue but the 50hz/60hz problem that plagues jukebox collectors this side of the world.

I'm assuming that unless I get the speed issue sorted the clock will run slow like the 45's on my jukebox.

Could the more technical guys help me out on this before I spend my hard earned dosh....

Think you can get a frequency converter Dave, sure I've seen one on one of the jukebox sites, but can't remember which one.

Hey Dave.. you can look into something along these lines.. its a converter for 60hz-50hz... May be a bit big for what you need.... biggrin

http://www.hzfrequencyconverter.com/60Hzto50Hz.html

This may be a better option..

Sorry I can't help with your question Dave, but on the subject of 7up clocks .....here is one I sold on e-bay last month that I didn't get to share with the group.

A retired 7up salesman sold me this for $20 bucks jawdrop

I have one of those 7up clocks from the 70's with the message board at the top with the little plastic letters. Works great after I cleaned out and oiled the mechanism a few times. It also helps me remember when I have an exam coming up.

I have a clock question, bought a Vintage Coke Swihardt. Has the 22 watt round florescent bulb and everytime I connect the light, the bulb blows. I have another clock that is identical but the face is a little differant. Wired the same, replaced the round starter, no luck. Any thoughts. Steve
