I have just found another video which features the clock in original condition and having the original cassette Rameu tune. It is featured at 12:24
-
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
-
it is fine as it is the panel will just need a repair
Also the creatures behind the petals stopped spinning before they went up
-
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.

I was passing yesterday so stopped to check at midday. The bell rang and the music played. However the petals (a few of which now look bent) cycled down-up-down-up throughout the performance and the 'orchestra' (three birds and three squirrels) were not spinning. Looking back in this thread it appears that these faults I observed may have been present for over a year.
The cobweb water wheel was turning but several butterflies were not tumbling. All butterflies look tarnished/verdigris. One of the 12 water jets looked a bit blocked.
I agree with the sentiment of most (all?) who remember it in the lower atrium. It looks so lost upstairs and I was reminded yesterday how close the three rotating arms at high level come to touching the girders (luck rather than judgement I think).
It is coming up for five years since Emma switched it back on (17 June 2015). How time flies. Let's hope it still attracts enough coins to make a difference to the chosen charities.
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
-
It seemed to change music in the 80s
https://www.macearchive.org/films/atv-today-20021973-victoria-centre-clock The original rameu tune.
https://www.macearchive.org/films/central-news-east-24111983-emett-clock IDK what tune it was.
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
-
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
Emett water clock...and other clocks

I have been back and it seems to be running again IDK if it still chimes as of yet but I did see the upper three arm feature rotating
