It might be a long shot but I know there are some people here that love the / their Lumitime clocks.
I was recently able to acquire one with green lights and it is labelled as 'Lumijaz', a derivative from the french clock maker 'Jaz'. it is a bit of an odd one for it is 120v and 50Hz and it does not seem to be switchable (perhaps by switching a gear inside the motor, not sure) so it almost certainly started its life in Japan, but no matter the history of the clock, I have an issue with it now.
I have lubricated the motor, it was running fine, but with these motors, it is always good to check. Whilst doing so, I had to disassemble the clock a bit. This clock has an alarm as well, which is quite an intricate mechanism and yes, there's my issue. I forgot to take pictures and just delved into the disassembly and you can guess it, I now have a non-working alarm, some bits of which I have a vague guess of how to put them back, but not 100% sure and it's for sure not working.
Would anybody here have a Lumitime C31 type like clock with an alarm and be willing to take a picture of the inside of the clock? With the front cover removed would be great, with the cover plate which seeds beneath that removed, would be even more perfect. That way I can sort of see which part goes where and more importantly, which spring goes where for there are 2 springs as well and i can see what they are supposed to do, but not how they were mounted.
Worst case scenario, I will have to go and search for a parts clock which also houses an alarm so that I use that one as an example, but that might be one bridge too far for now?
Thanks for reading this in any case
