Mechanical Distress Beacon

Posted by: Michael Slater in Uncategorized

I bought this from Ebay in Australia. Wind it up, and it appears to trigger a bunch of various switches that would power various distress indicators, including a mechanical morse code sender of “SOS”.

There are no identifying marks on it except for the switches and I haven’t worked out the schematic for all the various switch inputs/outputs. I think this could use, at least, and oiling too.
