HP 59309A Digital Clock and K10-59992A - markgreco - 05-03-2021 06:42 PM
My first post here!
I own a HP digital clock HP 59309A and can find lots of information on it.
What I can’t find is anything on the K10-599992A battery backup.
I’m trying to make a replica as they are close to impossible to find. I’m able to find a few online photos but that’s it. Supposedly you could access the batteries from the front as you may want to rack mount it. Any detailed information or point me in a different direction. I have emailed a few folks that may have one with no luck.

Welcome!! Nice find!
There's a photo of one on the TimeNuts site here, so it seems like he's got one, Might be worth reaching out to him.

Very nice! I'd only seen the front panel of that before - the inside was pretty interesting. I'm guessing the two transistors are for the battery check functionality.
Keep us posted if you decide to build something!

Brilliant piece of work!!
Please consider putting a copy of your summary, and a couple of photos, in the articles section. The work you did with duplicating labels, paint matching, etc. is a great general reference in addition to the details specific to the K10.
Thanks for posting!
