Intu have gone OTT with this and we might need to ask em if you can get it moved and fixed cause that would be epic I might make a new rameu tune that sounds like the original 70s casette one but less tinny The here we come a wassailing tune for Xmas I might do Or do you want the rameu all year -

Raspberry pi is a mini computer with it's own linux distro could work on animation We would like it to be rameu all year like I am used to. The faults begain in 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzWkFuQnzhU but we will have to get a good start on moving it and fixing it's faults -

The instrumental tune of Here we come a-wassailing was played at Christmas during cassette times. Also it would be nice if there was a pi based control panel to work with the clock -

Ask intu first if you can move it to where it was cause that would be just better. Also the birds and squirrels stopped spinning before the petals raised. -

Will you be able to go back and offer your work to move it back to the original location and fix it again? would work better and a new bigger bench frame would be epic when the move happens. -

https://www.macearchive.org/films/central-news-east-24111983-emett-clock it does the same tune in that video so it might be a seasonal change for christmas starting in november Like I said it might have stopped in the 90s or the 2000s -

Or was it a tune they put on during xmas season? also the 1973 vid also explains emetts reason of using the rameu -

I think Rizzoli cafe destroyed the clock's electronics and now the clocks petals are moving up and down and not normally how they should be so i better get pete dexter back into the centre and fix the clock -

I went today and it was still broken -

DanielHST replied to The Engineer's topic in Nottingham City Centre
It is not how it was and I think it is something to do with cafe rizzoli damaging an electrical or mechanic of the clock so it would have to move back. -

That's what the clock should look like once it has been restored -

It has to be fixed however when the engineer comes online again he will need to see this cause he restored the clock -

The engineer needs to fix the clock again as it is bang out of order it has been acting wrong cause the birds and squirrels weren't dancing and the petals were moving the opposit way to what they should be doing and my solution is taking it back to it's original location and make a new octagonal frame and whilst the frame is being build please move it to a temporary spot in another centre
