Title: Clock question...
Post by: pinballdude on August 03, 2012, 10:57:46 pm
Got a double bubble clock. Why would the second hand rotate but not the other hands?
Just wondering if I need to be looking into a new motor.
Thanks!

if the second hand moves then the motor is turning.  I would try the simplest thing first, try to push the hour and minutes hands onto the rod, they may just be loose or off

Well, duh! I never thought of that because I am afraid to take it apart since it is pretty
valuable to me.
Thanks. I'll let you know.

don't need to use a lot of force. and push at the axis ( ie the hub  of the hands)
