Reproduction Funkeruhr
Reproduction Communication Station Clock I built in my workshop. It is constructed out of wood, metal and paper with a plastic AAA powered battery clock insert.

Re: Reproduction Funkeruhr
Excellent idea and nice result! Comparing an average eBay price with your material cost and building time, how much have you saved if I may ask?
Re: Reproduction Funkeruhr
Thank you, the cost of materials was between $20-$25 and the construction time was 2-3 hours. I don't know how much originals cost.f.knieriemen wrote:Excellent idea and nice result! Comparing an average eBay price with your material cost and building time, how much have you saved if I may ask?
Re: Reproduction Funkeruhr
I was going to do the same thing, but gave up when I could not find a good sized clock insert, where did you get yours?

Re: Reproduction Funkeruhr
Thanks, also you did a fantastic job, how did you shape the area where the clock face sits?
Re: Reproduction Funkeruhr
Thank you, the face is drilled through to hold the clock insert, then the remaining surrounding area is then routed out. The side is drilled on edge.Panzer212 wrote:Thanks, also you did a fantastic job, how did you shape the area where the clock face sits?
