this is an unusual electrical torsion clock made by aug.schatz & sohne .it has a electromagnet that winds a little spring every minut (more or less ,it depends by the adjustement).
On this clock it is possible to regulate the time keeping through the pendulum like the other anniversary clocks , even more moving the arrow in the back plate .
Because I don’t have the right size battery I have made a rude adapter for to use the AA battery type .the clock runs and keeps perfect time with an horolovar suspension spring (0.056 mm,as you can get from the clip).

This is a video of my 1978 General Electric Clock Radio. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore! Enjoy!
Today I recieved a BRAND NEW FACTORY SEALED IN BOX 1980s General Electric 7-4630A Clock Radio that I won in an eBay auction. I personally HATE new clock radios…they are cheap, they sound awful, and they don’t hold up. This one must have sat somewhere for 25 years unnoticed, because this unit is brand new, never opened, never plugged in. This should last for a very long time, I should be able to get 30+ years out of it like most have with these vintage GE clock radio units, they are built like tanks!
