That's correct.You need a code like the early radios and a hardware device to re-programm the blinking signs.

Thank you for your nice message. If someone wants to email me, please do so to gerwin@pigeonclocks.com

I sell them. email me at gerwin@pigeonclocks.com

I do them, but not anymore at the show. Now we send them back afterwards. This year I have stand 138, the pigeonclock museum.

Hi Guys, I really can't believe you are still using the clocks I collect. Someone said They were good 50 years ago so what is wrong with them now? Well easy, they are 50 years older now! Clocks becoming on age will become less accurate. Especially the Toulet with dials. You buy a good serviced, like new T2 for 50 GBP and a like new T3 for 80GBP. Is that really too much for accuracy in the sport?

If you want to know the age of your clock, look at the serialnumber. If it ends at 07 it is 1993, 06 1994, 05 1995, 04 1996 and so on. 00 is 2000 and then they go from 99 2001, 98 2002, 97 2003 and so on.

It is like this: The T2 has nothing. At the end of the lifetime of the battery the clock is dead, so if you want to be sure you have a good working clock, change the battery after 10 years. The T3 is a different story. When a clock receives a new battery the clock will be reprogrammed and the end of life of the battery is programmed. Junior normally sets this at 8 years for the normal battery and 10 years for the super lithium battery. You can check for yourself, take your clock and set the date. When you change the years you will see that the batterysymbol is flashing 8 years from your last batterychange. To be honoust, it is useless message. This system is only good for selling new batteries because people get nervous when they see the symbol is flashing. I have also seen T3's which were heavily used where the battery was gone after 6 years so they never saw the flashing. The only batterycheck which is reliable is the Benzing CC. It measures the voltage of the batteries and when it comes under a certain value it will start flashing.

In fact the T2 is a very good alternative for a T3. In Blackpool I normally sell T3's for 80-100 pounds and they sell very good. At the same time I sell T2's for 30-40 pounds (with a new battery!) and they don't sell at all. And the battery lasts longer in a T2. Where a T3 is dead after 6-10 years I have had T2's with a 17 years old battery still running! Greetings from Holland!

I will be selling T3's and click 'n clock.

They are GBP 25 for a set of 12 inserts.

Yes I did.

Hi everybody, I am very curious how it all went this season with my click 'n clock inserts. Regards, Gerwin

It has been approved by the RPRA, NEHU and IHU.

I know. It has been passed and it can be used immediately!

Does somebody know if the rpra approved the use of the click 'n clock inserts?

I know which device you are looking for. They are hard to find. It is probably better to wait for the rpra meeting, end of february. If you use my click 'n clock system you have the same as the device you are looking for, only a lot cheaper.

If you are afraid of the warranty loss, just take the thimbles out before you send the clock to them. Or send your clock to me. I am cheaper anyway.

If they are damaged they can be removed (with some violence) and replaced by a new one.

I just received an email from Tom Dawson, President of the NEHU, with the following text: I can confirm the NEHU Clock Committee has approved the use of the T3 Clock insert for use in 2009.

After reading the last message I rang my friend in england who handed over the thimble to the NEHU and asked him about it. Unfortunatly it is correct. It has not been officially passed. They told him they didn't see any problems, but the official meeting will be at the end of januari so I heard. If there is someone out there who can tell me more about this, please send me a PM. I do not want to sell a product which you are not allowed to use. Regards, Gerwin

Which is something I don't understand.. If you use them without conversion and without thimbles the risk that a ring gets stuck somewhere in the season is almost 100%.

You need a set of 12 boxes, because the drum has 12 chambers.

They do not come out. Once fitted it is impossible to remove them.

I wanted to sell them under 20 pounds, but with todays rate I will have to sell it for 25 pounds per clock (a set of 12).
