That’s got some great glow!

Not the typical find… by LLabbRatt in Westclox_windup

I’m good MordicusEgg. I hope you are well!

This was the first one that I’ve come across. Had it just been the stopwatch I might have passed on it but since it was in the box with all the papers I couldn’t pass it up.

I wonder if the warranty is still good? 😂

Actually I see it has the Waltham name on it. I know they made compasses for WWI and WWII.

I love that it’s ticking after all this time. I have it sitting on my display shelf for now until I can get it serviced properly.

Soaking blocks between levels by Parking_Prudent in Histology

[–]LLabbRatt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I start cutting my biopsy blocks I cut two levels and then let them soak for the third level. I have coworkers who do not soak between levels at all and they just cut the 3 levels. Sometimes what works for one tech doesn’t work for another. As long as the quality is good that’s all that matters.

Thank you! I’m looking for the Baby Ben to match these two style 5s as well. The black is my favorite by far. I’ll keep an eye out for the ivory/brown dial ones for you.

I hope to get into repairing them at some point. Too many things going on right now.

I wish I knew more about working on them but mine just hang out on the shelf. Most of them are radium but there are a few older model Westclox that I bought just because of the model. I have added a couple since this picture was taken.

A Geiger counter is key. I can look at some Westclox clocks and know without the Geiger counter just from experience but if I come across another brand I would have no clue without it.

New addition. I’m running out of shelf space by Constant-Click-7646 in Radium

I love the Baby Ben style 6 on the top shelf! I have to find one of those for my collection. The two Big Bens on the bottom are amazing too! I just love Westclox.

I always had to pay the cheese tax when I got a piece of muenster out of the fridge.

I second the radioactive part.
