Hi.
I just purchased a Solari Udine Cifra 2, shipped from Italy in near mint cosmetic condition from ebay.
Unfortunately the clock doesn't seem to be functioning properly. Any ideas where I might be able to find someone to do a repair? I live in Los Angeles but would be happy to send the clock somewhere else in the US.
If anyone's got any insight on what might be wrong, here are the symptoms:
The clock seemed to be working perfectly when I first plugged it in. Then, after a few hours, it began making a kind of rapid "pulsing" sound that I assume was coming from the engine. When I picked up the clock, to listen closer, the sound stopped. But when I put the clock back down on the table, it stopped telling time (the numbers stopped advancing). I tried unplugging and plugging back in to no avail. So I left the clock unplugged overnight. To my surprise, when I tried plugging it back in the next morning, the clock seemed to be working again. But when I checked on it an hour or so later, I noticed the clock was running fast, by about 15 minutes in two hours.
Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated! If I can't figure out a relatively easy solution right away I think the best move is to request a refund from the seller. Hate to see this one go though.
