That's all I know!

Neat! Can anyone confirm it's really for a Wildcat?

Also, I saw this in the eBay links to similar auctions:

I like how the description ends in a threat. The same technique is used to sell wooden canoes on eBay, "Buy this or I'll cut it in half to make book shelves!"

At $250 for the instruments, I'd pay that to watch him make clocks out of them. Lots of people like that on eBay

You might want to mention that the clocks will glow in the dark. Perhaps he will too if he messes with them too much!

yeah...... radium dialed instruments can give you a real healthy glow if not careful!!

Yes dear,your skin does have a healthy glow to it.even with the lights off.

It looks a bit different than the one being incorporated into the Hoffstetler project. I imagine Conrad could offer the defining judgement as to whether this one belongs to a Wildcat or not. Pretty cool regardless!

Conrad says he thinks it is from an early F4F.

Here is a video of an F3F using the starter.
