[T3] I FIXED THE '63 CLOCK !!! (you have to hear this)


Ok I posted the question how to fix my clock, well, my
biggest delima was getting the plastic cover off
without breaking it, what appears to be holding it
back from easily coming off is the, male power prong,
it is sorta sealed around the plastic, like fused or
something.

I cut around it just enough to break it free with a
razor knife and wham I carefully remove the case.
Then im doing my inspection of the fusing wire etc, or
actually just trying to find one!! 

Any start to tinker w/ the clocks counter balance
weight, the one that electrically gets zapped back to
start the count over again, TICK! TOCK ! TICK ! TOCK
!, how can this be, there is no power????

Stupid me thought it would keep running, so I left it
sit alone a min. to come back to it dead.

Long story short, I lubed everything up with Tri Flow
super lube w/ teflon, put it back in the car just
sorta hangin there, NOTHING!!

So i fool with fuses etc, the usual, still nothing,,
wiring, still nothing, then the brackets that hold the
clock in place, well i push the clock alittle further
in its whole, and I start hearing this thing!!!

I just went back out there and its still running!!!!

Germans make awesome machinery, clocks dated 9/62 !!

Thrilled to death,
Rob
