Noisy Cosmo

[Alan Willis]

Hello everyone! I recently bought a really nice Cosmo flip clock that works perfectly, but has started making this loud noise, and has a vibration as well... it still keeps perfect time but the noise has to go!
Is this something that can be easily fixed or should I leave it up to the professionals?
Thanks for all advice.

Hi Alan, I don't know this brand, do you have a model number so we know what it looks like?

Can you open up the clock and post a few pictures showing the motor and mechanism?

[Alan Willis]

Not sure why the pictures rotated?
*update* I unplugged the clock last night because it was just too loud to deal with... plugged it back in this morning and it was quiet... so I’m thinking either the motor is on its way out or something needs grease?

Sounds promising, but unless someone else knows what's inside the clock you will need to post photos of the motor and mechanism so we know what we're dealing with.

You can practise posting photos if you like down in the Testing Area: https://www.flipclockfans.com/forum/...t-site-problem
