Yeah I will get one this arvo. Sorry been a bit busy.

Absolute legend. Maybe hope for this clock yet.

I was planning on starting a new thread & linking this to it, but couldn't figure out how to...

Anyway, my question is:
Is there a degree of how dead a clock is?

I have one clock that the second hand goes for a quarter of a lap when you activate the adjuster knob
one clock goes for about 3 or 4 seconds
one clock that does stuff all

Or would they all need the same amount of work/parts?
any ideas?

thanks in advance

Wow. Just re-read this thread. So long ago that I repaired those clocks, I have forgotten it all. I hadn’t even been on a mine site then, and farming was only just starting to get bad.
Try replacing the capacitors, no guarantee though.

Any picturesof this circuit board the up side down view? Need to see where red wire solders into board.

I had to ask Absinth how to get the second hand off so all credit goes to him for getting me past point A! Thanks Absinth.





The long thin silver bit with the peg on it what the coil activates to make the clock go, and this where the humming comes from I am guessing.



The green thing is the coil, the tall grey cylinders are two of the capacitors and the flat black thing is also a capacitor(which is meant to be green). The other skinny dudes are diodes. The other round black thing is a transistor.
