Looks a bit big for a PP3 battery.
Did you have to get a sub-contractor in for this one? :flash:
The clock is green and old and therefore requires modernisation. Bit like your bike.....:flash:

If you find yourself in Bologna, you can have the pleasure of buying your train ticket from a Ducati ticket machine...
Ducati Elettronica split off from Ducati Meccanica in 1953 and still exists as Ducati Energia, SpA, still making capacitors and other electronics including ignition systems. So that capacitor on the clock may be more recent than you think.

The clock is out Alloa Sheriff Court. I never looked at the makers plaque on it but Im guessing its about 140 years old. The capacitor is to reverse the rotation on the motor which operates the striking mechanism. It was weight driven before but we have converted it to electric so no one has to go and wind it up every week now.
I ordered the capacitor of RS after I chucked the box out that had the original capacitor in it. The motor supplier quoted me £20
so got this on of RS for £2.98 inc delivery. You see, not all OE Ducati stuff is overpriced tat!!
