Sorry...since my computer got boogered up I wasn't able to post a response to tell you that gravity may have been your enemy.  The gears were meshing together when the mech. was on its back, but you hang it on the wall and then one of the gears would fall just enough to disengage with the rest of the gears from wear or misalignment.  But glad to see that you toyed with it long enough to mess the gears back together and got it working.   I had a clock that did the same thing way back when.

You know it did that a lot. It worked when I had it standing up but the second I layed it down and then put it back up it would not work. Also oiling it did help. My roommate was messing with it and noticed that the parts that controll the hands were kind of hard to turn.

I got that same clock in my garage:

Awesome! It is a neat clock. I like the drink cup on the sign. Did those origionally come with it?

[Jimbo]

The Dr. Pepper cup is a spare from a Dr. Pepper Menu Board I got from the old cafe in town when it closed (same place I got the booths)  I thought it looked good there.  I wish I could find a 7up one.

That is really cool!

Check out what I did with some bottle caps I had. Just took a paper clip and bent it and taped it to the back of the caps and put it in the slots. I think it looks pretty cool.
