1973 Tii clock repair

[Russkcpa]

I followed the link to Karl's repair site

His pre-74 clock is much different than mine

Can anyone help with suggestions for a fix?

I AM getting power to the clock but it's dead

I WOULD LIKE to avoid a quartz clock replacement

Thanks

The '74 Tii clocks were different from the early '72 and '73 tii clocks. The early ones were mechanical (like Karl's) and the late (yours) were quartz. I'm not sure how to fix the quartz clock, but I imagine you could take the quartz guts from another automive 12 volt clock of similar size and put them into your '74 clock for a fix...Another thought would be to take it to a jewler and see if they could fix the quartz movement....many jewlers sell clocks in addition to watches so they may have a source to send it to in order to get it fixed. Good luck...and thanks for those pics...I've never seen the '74 clock in pieces like that...It's good to know what it looks like inside there.

There is another site that shows you how. He is the webmaster for the tii registry. Good luck

Keith Kreeger's website has the repair instructions for the '74tii clock. The website address is www.my2002tii.com

For anyone that visits this thread hoping for an answer, if your clock is still not working after you've checked that 1) you're clock is getting the required 12v, 2) all the gears have good contact and turn the clock arms when manually manipulated, and 3) you've re-soldered every connection, then check the resistance of both colored coils that the magnets oscillate around. If either of them registers as infinity, then something has caused the circuit to open. I found on my clock that the sheathing on the coil wire had been worn from the magnet rubbing against it to the point that the copper is exposed. I can't think of way you would be able to fix this piece without simply replacing it.

Thanks John, right under my nose as expected.
