Hello Flipclock fans!
I have two flip clocks ( Sony 8fc-100w and a Craig 1606) that both require a helping hand to get the motors to spin upon plug in. On both clocks, I have sank them in alcohol various times and even used WD40 (which I know isn't really recommended anymore) to try and see if I could free them up. Usually if I want to use one of the clocks, I have to take it apart turn the motor by hand and then it starts spinning. After that, the clock keeps time well. But, if I unplug the clock for more than a few seconds, the motors on both clocks struggle to spin on their own. Has anyone had this issue even after cleaning the motors? Any solutions?
Thanks!
