    Park - O - Meter PART II

    I wanted to show you a little more of my park o meter. I also just finished fabricating a stand for it out of old stainless lamp parts. Actually this was my custom Ford lamp I made..hmmm..just looked, I guess I never posted that piece.

    Here is the inside view from the back. You can see there's a non- jeweled clock work labeled "Relhor SA Swiss made". These devices had to be accurate under any number of conditions. Interestingly there's a key lock at the top front of the case, but the back has a flat blade screw. All you need is a large flat blade to open the case up to expose the mechanism.

    The stand came out pretty good. To the top of the meter is 54", so it's a perfect height and similar to what it would be installed. I had to do some fabrication, including drilling out a stainless bung to accept the large bolt that holds the machine on.

    Not sure where I'm going to put it. I haven't found the perfect place in the garage yet, so for now it's inside next to one of my display cabinets. Sansa wanted to pose for a picture..terrible photo angle though. May end up between the trucks..undecided.

      Great Meter!! Great Dog!! My buddy Sheldon and I had some double sided key's that looked similar to one's back then used on parking meter locks. We sold them for a Buck to unsuspecting younger kids as parking meter key's. Told them they just had to find the right meters the keys fit to CASH IN!!

      Stuff - that's hilarious..I can see these kids running from machine to machine..

      Kera - thank you..I did some reading on their company and time lock movements..

      Waki - I can have them shipped to you. The dogs are a handful and require constant attention. They will drive you crazy..
