    Give them their pink ball. For those not in the know, AIBOs usually come with a small pink ball, which grabs their attention for a little while. An ERS-210 with the Recognition software loaded will shout "Pinku bőru!" over and over until they get bored.

And at one time, it was dropped on the left wing, so a few of the keys won't type. But it's still a cool machine for the price I paid. You got so lucky with your's.

    Thank you! I've been running this clock for months now, although it now needs to sit on one of those steel frames that old black forest clocks sit on to preserve them, because my clocks frame was too weak and the weight made the frame sag and bind up the axles. but after adding that steel frame it runs well again.

    Hi! Do you know how much do the weights weigh? I have the exact same movement ( identical even to the detail work on the sides with the flowers ) and it came without weights, so it would be very helpful to know how much they weigh. Can you also please measure the length of the pendulum? ( Starting from the suspension). It also came without a pendulum. Thanks! :)

  • @sleeplessengineer1450
    @sleeplessengineer1450 Жыл бұрын

    The weights I have are not the original weights, but they are 1200g. Ideally you'd use the lightest weights your clock will work with to avoid wear. The pendulum on mine is very long, the entire pendulum rod is 82.5cm including the hook and the part the bob is attached to. Most shield clocks have shorter pendulums.

    @@sleeplessengineer1450 Thank you so much :D I tried to use 1100g weights on my clock and it ran fine on the time side, but the strike side kept stopping randomly. That extra 100g probably makes the difference. I have another painted shield clock and I tried to use the pendulum from that one also, but it gained about 20 minutes in 6 hours, so it clearly uses a longer one. Thanks again :) I will try to aquire all these parts and see if it runs correctly.

  • @luka3377

    @@sleeplessengineer1450 Yeah, most older shield clocks do indeed have longer pendulums. They probably went with the principle that the longer the pendulum is, the more accurate the clock will be when they made it. At first it seemed odd to me that these shield clocks with long pendulums had so much space left under the pendulum bob (to move it). That was most likely made like that for fine regulation. Newer clocks use shorter pendulums most likely because they were "factory made" (The wheels and some other parts are cut by machines. My other shield clock has a short pendulum, and the teeth of the wheels look too perferct and spiky to be made by hand), and they could make the parts much smaller than those made completely by hand.

    Just the regular NES RF cable, then just screw it to a tv balun, this tv balun is then screwed onto the VHF jacks on the back of the TV, then the TV is set to either channel 3 or 4. You can get RF cables for basically any game console from the 70s to the early 2000s, and you can even connect newer game systems to vintage TVs like this using an RF modulator.
