Hi all, You may remember some posts a few months back about my conversion of a Sperry marine radar into a clock. Well it's almost done! Here's a video of progress to date:
http://youtu.be/kTHOvdUqQOk There a few little software tweaks to go and a minor amount of metalwork but it's pretty much there. Unfortunately I was never able to solve the transformer noise problem so adding chimes is not worth doing. It displays GPS time through my home wifi link and if there's no GPS available it can be set manually and uses the mains frequency as a reference. Power consumption in display mode is 115 watts mostly losses in the power amplifiers and deflection ballast resistors. There are some BIG heatsinks on the back. Now the biggest issue is where to put it - the domestic engineering manager is hard to please :-( Enjoy!
