Martin, Thanks for the response. Unfortunately my " handiwork" on the clock has not lasted and it is stuck in the 4pm hour now rotating round the 10 minutes blocks.
The clock is a 12 hour version. I will disassemble again and get some more pictures at some point. I will hopefully try and get it to function again! On a side note is it possible to reuse the tubes in another clock project? I would assume so somehow but I am a complete novice! Thanks.
