Solari Udine -- Dator 5 - Calendar clock

Electromechanical flip dial Calendar clock, made by Solari Udine (Italy). Housing designed by Gino Valle.
Year of manuf. mid to late 1960's
Needs minute countwheel adjustment, sometimes the hour change over happens at 59 minutes, other times at 00 minutes. Gears from this clock are like Meccano gear wheels and can be adjusted on the drive shaft. I will add an other video of the inner workings on YouTube.

Fantastic!!! Thanks for this video :-)) I colect clocks from Czechoslovakia - ZPA PRAGOTRON. Clocks from SOLARI di Udine is my dream. In Czech Republic is old Solari only in railway station CHEB. One clocks ( only time, they havent date )

@ZelenejZigulik Try to get hold of that clock mate.

I have heard of Pragotron clocks.

Dit vind ik echt de aller stoerste klok die ik ooit heb gezien! Zo worden ze helaas niet meer gemaakt.

Dankjewel voor het compliment. De vormgeving is prachtig en typisch van de 50 en 60-ger jaren. Clock kan zo gebruikt worden bij de Thundebirds.

This is amazing clock. I got one Solari Udine, Emera 5 last week, and also in very good condition. But I have a question, the clock seems to work fine for up to 12 hours. But then it shuts off completely. I use ordinary power lead 2.5A 250V.

Do I need a clock impulse to make this work 100%?

Best Regards,

Jonas

The clock requires an impulse once every minute for about 1 to 2 seconds.

Please sent me an email with a photo of the movement. There are a few varieties of them.

hey, i received the clock a few days ago and can't get it to start up at a steady "correct" pace like yours does in your clip, do you have any suggestions that may help me to get the clock to function regularly? Thanks

[RODALCO2007]

That is a lot. But they become rarer in times to come. Look at it as an investment.

Postage to NZ was 35 Euro's.

Make a clip for YouTube when you have it connected up.
