CONDITION:
tarnished bases. Both with good dials and hands. Domes seem a little tall, but they match each other and fit the base perfectly. Some replaced wiring is evident. Electromagnets are used to periodically raise a small weight that causes a pawl to engage with a ratchet connected to the first wheel in the train.
