FLAPPER 123 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 can anyone give me any info re the T2 clock, ive been told they are the wind up version of the T3.........anyone use one, are they any good ? thanks.
pigeonpete Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Dont know any one who uses them, , will do the job though i suppose, have you got 1 or are you buying 1?
greenlands Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 One of our club members used one about 4 or 5 seasons ago and if I remember rightly they are not the wind up model, they are same as the T3 except they are set while running.I have one of the old juniors don't know what name it comes under ,I think it was just called Junior, silvery grey metal case and reasonably heavy compared to the T3.Cracking clock had it for years and never let me down.

FLAPPER 123 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Posted October 27, 2009 hi pigeonpete, been offered one thats for sale, but no-one seems to know anything about them who ive asked...........just that they are the wind up version of the T3. the clock is £35 which to me seems very cheapso im wondering if they are much good. :-/
FLAPPER 123 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Posted October 27, 2009 hi lindsay, thanks for the info......yes ive seen the junior you are talking about, think it has a round dial on the front like the T3 does it ? just been out bid on an stb on ebay this morning so i was wondering about the T2 but as i said it seems very cheap at £35..... :-/
Guest peter.j Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 check you can still use them first [ask club clocksetter] the t2 is the one with hands as opposed to the t3 which is the digital version
greenlands Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 This is the old junior that I have in the link.I'm sure the T2 is the same as the T3 set while running. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Junior-Racing-Pigeon-Dove-Clock-With-Key-15-Rubis_W0QQitemZ120484517218QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Clocks?hash=item1c0d6fd562 Lindsay.
FLAPPER 123 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Posted October 27, 2009 thanks peter, good idea.......the price just seems too cheap for a working (tested?) clock which is still usable. im in leeds.

If you find the clock has a metal case (wind up Junior) leave well alone.

FLAPPER 123 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Posted October 27, 2009 yes lindsay, ive seen those before on ebay....can they still be used now or are they too old? tony, the T2 on ebay looks just the same as a T3........and also states its digital too ? whats the difference then ? why is this T2 only 35 when on ebay the T3 goes for 100+

FLAPPER 123 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Posted October 27, 2009 you have pm flapper you have pm peter j
FLAPPER 123 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Posted October 27, 2009 Ask if it needs a new battery also ask if the clock comes with a 3 way test certificate for this year, it may have a fault. hi tony, the man said it has been 3 way tested this year (he has 2 for sale the same) . so are these clocks battery or wind up ? and apart from what lindsay says about them being set while running are they the same as a T3......

T2's are battery, they were Juniors first generation digital clock.
almeehan Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 In the beginning was the T1 which took AA batteries and had a red LED display. The T2 was the next version which as stated looked exactly like the T3, its an older model. These clocks would be at least 16 years old, probably why they are cheaper but take the same battery as a T3.
carlsberg Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 t2 is nearly same as t3 but if you strip the t2 clock before printing times off you lose all data where as the t3 you can print off the last 50 timings with some playing around
Steve Shaw Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 I use a T2, they are as stated previously the predessesor of T3. They are set running and you must print clockings prior to opening. Other than that you cant tell the difference, the front looks like a T3 and you review clockings like a T3 by pressing the button, runs bang on over 24 hours. £35 a bargain, if you dont want it pm me with the detail. I wouldnt put you off the one on Ebay, My father had one of those 25 year ago, again a good timekeeper and good clock. You had to be carefull when reading them off, I know one or two blokes who tried it on by reading it off a minute earlier than it was. Not sure if you can still get hold of the clock rolls and ink ribbons. Steve
shweet Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Ive just bought a junior with the clock with the hands. It doesnt look as old as the one on Ebay, its in a grey case and has a Linell Instrument Service LTD sticker on the side. I only paid £40 for it but he said it was in perfect working order and has had it tested and serviced. Is this classed as a T3 or T2. This is all new to me. Am I able to use this clock ? I hope so, lol.
carlsberg Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 would be classed as a junior and yes you should be able to use it as long as your clocksetter knows how to set it as in our club our old clocksetters didn't know how to set a benzing but unforunately i am now the clocksetter
greenlands Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 Hi Steve,I don't understand this part of you post "Not sure if you can still get hold of the clock rolls and ink ribbons" T2 clocks use the same printer as the T3 ?? Lindsay
stan p Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 lindsay i thinksteve is talking about windup juniors there is still 2 or 3 windup juniors used in owere club as second clocks and they are good time keepers stan
greenlands Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 That's what I thought Stan,I have one that I no longer use,always found them a good reliable clock but showing there age now. Lindsay.
