As far as I know the workings are the same as a regular Type 3 clock, but the outside is different. I tried to test it by connecting to a battery. On being connected for the first time, it "clunked", which I believe means it was winding itself up, then ticked a bit, then died. It now appears to be dead. I have read the previous posts on clock repair and it seems that the main problems are a solder-fuse burning out, or dirt in the works. I suppose either of the two could be my problem. Is this the kind of thing that I should attempt, or do I stand a really good chance of screwing it up? These Type 34 clocks are not exactly easy to find so I don't want to do irreparable damage to it. I do have a junk one I could practice on. Regards, Daniel Baum Sounds to me like you accidentally hooked a 6-V clock up to a 12-V battery. Most Type 34's are 6-volt. If so, you've already done irreparable harm to it. It always bothers me to hear about 12-v to 6-v since that happened to me by mistake about three years ago.
