This is very, very cool.

As unboxing videos go this is a goody, a guy named Neil Robinson managed to obtain an actual real clock from the original Crystal Maze Futuristic Zone and got it to (very almost) full working order.

I don’t want to overload the post with videos so here’s him trying to fix it and here’s the finished result. I’m enquiring with him whether the clock makes the noise or if he’s playing it off camera – I had always assumed they added it in post (I actually can’t work it out from the vid – it sounds a bit faint but when he shows his screen it’s not on Youtube). Even so that is very, very cool.

And he’s got a jacket.

Edit: “I am afraid it doesn’t make that sound. I added it and the ambient noise to the video.” So there we are.
