Anyone who’s had the misfortune to visit our workshop will be acutely aware of the hourly ritual. On the hour every hour Tutankhamen pops out of my Egyptian cuckoo clock accompanied by utterly shit music whilst various gods twirl about on the base.
As a monument to shit, this is a fine example and one I’ve come to appreciate deeply…, but Tut has fallen silent!!!, the gods don’t twirl - the music has ceased!
It is a sad day for a man when there’s a cock up on the cuckoo front.
Pretty sure that same movement is used in a gazillion cheap clocks. Tut must be resurrected!
A job for BBC’s “the repair shop”
There’s scope for foo-ing up the cabling & getting a purer note from the cuckoo.
Silk insulated age annealed silver or fuck off 
@stu remains adamant it should be plugged into the system. It’s a strange desire probably fueled by the night he slept with all the Bangles. Every time he hears Tuts majestic music he thrusts around the place singing walk like an Egyptian. Not sure weather to encourage or not?
Is the clock still working but the rotating display/Tut appearing part not?
Indeed, having just forked out for two jumbo batteries I’m most peeved - Damn it all I don’t want clock I want Tut!
Admire if you will the majesty of form and function we are tangling with (A review beyond parallel)
Are Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities aware that you are in possession of this treasure?
I await an international tussle on a scale that will eclipse the Elgin Marbles controversy.
Is it one of the 2000 items stolen from the British Museum?
The British Museum probably don’t even know.
Wire it up to your system
Will be a great talking point as it blares out mid demo
Completely agree, my wife said I’m weird. I try to help her see but she just hasn’t had enough Schumann. Some people are like that, it’s not their fault.
Maybe now is the time to upgrade
I have been keeping a keen eye for a Parakeet clock so far no dice but surely the mind of the Tut designer can’t be far behind?
Bah ! …robbing artifacts from tombs …
I can see no alternative than to go cap-in-hand to The Mighty @coco and beg him to unsheath his trusty soldering iron and throw Duelund caps, resistors and cabling at it until this heirloom is resurrected!
We are simpatico, although i did wonder if gargantuan lasers may be the answer, @Valvebloke ?
From a layperson’s perspective, gargantuan lasers are never not the answer
Hammer Films, 1966. Peter Cushing blacked-up as Tut, if I recall
Given that it’s probably around 3000 years old I’d say it’s done pretty well.
I’d point the finger of blame at the controller pcb, a piece of undoubtedly alien technology that the Pharoah Kufu traded slaves for to appease those extra-terrestrial visitors. I suspect the only answer will be to seek advice from conspiracy sites online. Those people really know about this stuff.
