Re: [T3] Clock and Speedometer/odometer problems


>Can this later model (clock) be rebuilt?

The transistorised clock is either a matter of lubrication, or dead!  Try a
bit of WD40, and rock the casing clockwise and anticlockwise to see if the
pendulum will start.  (Yes, I know others say it's not a lubricant, but it
got my clock working, and it's still OK after 7 years).
If it doesn't keep going, the problem is probably damaged coils, or worn
out gearing.  Working with the incredibly fine wire will defeat all but
micro-surgeons!  There are only three electronic components, and there's a
good chance they are fine.  There also seems no easy way of getting to them
without being destructive to the mechanism frame.
