I've jumped down the rabbit hole!

I stopped at a Salvation Army store just as a curiosity. I thought there would be a chance of finding some old clock parts or something similarly interesting that I could get on the cheap.

I Imagine it could be the start of an interesting project, but it is too early to know. Lots of thoughts and possibilities are stirring around in my head.



Found on E-Bay:
