I just got a package from my very best friend Paul>>>>

I was afraid it was from the Unabomber when I hear it's ticking.



Thanks my very best friend.

Now I have to find a 110 volts power supply because in civilized societies so did we have 220 volt.

That kind of package, good.

Interesting, vintage clock. The gesture of a true gentleman.

Just split the 220 volt power you have in half.

Great joke sending him a clock he can’t use. Next a cake he can’t eat or a beer he can’t drink.

They sell power transformers on Amazon for less than $20 that will adapt the power supply to the clock.

Might not help if the clock relies on accurate 60Hz for its timing. If so, the clock would loose 4h/day in Sweeden.

Which might or might not bother Jocke ;-)

Jocke will know the answer. I didn’t have problems with a clock I bought online last year, but the circuitry may have been designed to adapt.

This should be no problem - my suggestion is cut an octagonal hole in your car’s dashboard, mount it and don’t worry about power.

It will show correct time twice a day for a lifetime!

Perfect!

You can check the time and comb your facial hair in the mirror at the same time.
