Alarm v. of the Conway.

I had wondered a long time about piecing a clock together from spare parts.  The clock above is the result of my first attempt at it.  If you stay collecting and fixing Telechrons long enough, you'll soon amass a collection of spare parts that even Dr. Frankenstein would envy.  I knew I needed a good pic of this model for "The War Years" so I found a 7H102 rear (I had two!) and the correct dial, I took the mirrored case from a ruined Conway (bought it just for this purpose) and started cobbling.  Everything else came from the parts box.  The result is an all-correct 7H102 where once there was nothing.  I don't know if I have another clock in parts downstairs but I'm pretty happy with this one except for one nagging question:  does this Ashby  have a soul?
