The Lumitime Strikes Back!!!
🕑 Added 2023-09-20 18:39:57 +0000 UTCThe simple repair of a Lumitime electromechanical neon digital alarm clock turns into quite an adventure with many unexpected twists and turns. Will I ever get it to work? Can I possibly put it all back together? What was that thing in the motor anyway? Answers to all these questions and more unfold in this old-school FranLab full-length video... So get your preferred beverage, sit back, and enjoy the show!

Maybe when people see what a complete pain in the ass it is to repair one, the prices will become more sensible!

Thought about buying a neon segment Lumitime clock on eBay until I saw the prices. I will live vicariously through your clocks.

Fran, maybe you have the “quantum mechanics” version of that clock? When it was running backwards, did you feel anything different? Perhaps the designers expected the dissolving plastic disc, but could not determine when it would actually liquefy. In order to perfect the disc, they built in a method to turn back time when it failed. The clock was trying to return to its genesis, but you kept making it go forward. You are interfering with its function of causality violation.
