Maybe a self winding clock?

How do you test shocks with a clock?

Well, the more I think about it, the more I am affraid my friend was kidding me.

Inside you put a paper disc that turns and marks vibrations. So, maybe it is just a seismograph and has nothing to do with VW and I have to put the dummy hat.

But well thought: you can fix it vertical anywhere on the bus(or other) and drive, drive, drive... Then when you run over a hole, you will record a big vibration. Otherways at the end of the journey, you will have had a lot of good vibrations😅.

Sorry for de useless input!
Have a nice day.

I read that too. :lol:

Its a cool clock that should be removed and used as one I think since I don't think the analog seismic blasting instruments are a hot item 8) :lol:

Maybe not the rarest, but quite uncommon, especially in this condition with original sticker in place.
Kamei parcel shelf for my 66 bug. I feel lucky.

I was lucky to find this NOS Philips AutoMignon 2101D in original German packaging on ebay.
The seller wanted $400 or best offer, shipped.
Amazingly, seller accepted my best offer.

I don't think I've seen this posted yet or discussed. Just want to have it in here for discussion / reference.
Definitely in the top few of the rarest VW specific items I've ever seen.

THat one has the chrome surround-- is it in a Zwitter and has the chrome? Or is the ashtray not 'zwitter' specific...?

I believe it is zwit specific, he modified an ashtray receptacle to accept the GHE ashtray
