There have been large numbers of master clocks in the broadcasting house
clearance auctions over the last year. As a result there are probably quite
a lot in circulation in the UK right now, though the BBC cachet put the
prices above dirt-cheap. The studio slave clocks were particularly popular.
Absolutely correct on the batteries. It depends on the type. My experience
has been varied. Yes they leak but if they leak and do not spray around the
cleanups much easier and just to the area of the batteries. If they were on
charge and went they tend to vent vapor. Thats a serious effort to fix
I do odd jobs for a real clockmaker who does the contracts no-one else
wants. Like the clocks on the main entrance of Melbourne's Flinders Street
Station that indicate the leaving times for all the lines. Anyway I spotted
this old master clock in the store. I bet it looks even more beautiful
You should make an offer that way we all get to see the insides.
The movement seems to have value no matter what. You may indeed open up to
find the magical batteries have turned to white powder. Most clocks like
this either had internal or external battery sets.
Very nice indeed.

Didn't the BBC surplus a number of similar units, along with the slaves a few
years ago?

I can open it up whatever. I shall certainly take photos. I hope that it
did not have internal nicads, as they will indeed be in a sad state after
30 years :(
