Hello everyone,
I purchased my first flip clock earlier today. I knew it wasn't in working condition, but I enjoy tinkering so purchased anyways. I just took it apart and have some questions about how to fix it. Everything seems to be in great condition. The synchronizer spins on its own, bulb works, gears and tiles work when turning the knobs. Only problems I can see is its missing the top 8/bottom 9 tile.
I think my problem with the clock not operating is in the motor/gearbox (idk the proper term). I can see where a small brass gear that protrudes from it should be turning the other clock gears but it is not turning. I've attached pictures that hopefully depict what I am describing. I would like some advice on how to proceed and what it will take to get in there and hopefully fix whatever issue it is having. Thank you!
