The middle position is where it should have been when out of the factory.
While movement is out of the case examine the regulation loop adjustment and set to approximate middle. Try to avoid pushing the regulation adjustment fast. It usually makes sense that it now is too fast as the previous owner may have adjusted the regulation to faster to try to compensate for the clock running slow/behind but now understood as most likely slipping. Later you can restore the bushing/pinion properly if you wish.Ĭool beans. If you do so, try to go sparingly on the super glue by applying drop to a plate or something and then use a small screwdriver tip to apply tiny amount. That and the balance wheel cup assembly is not as service friendly as watches are.Īnother option (highly discouraged) is if you have a split pinion/bushing is to super glue it. Some require pinion gear pullers and are a bit rough to deal with. Taking an alarm clock apart is not good for a first clock as some of the pieces are threaded on (some left handed threads too) and others are peened/friction fit.

Cracked bushings can have a hairline crack which is hard to spot sometimes. Turn the time setting knob and see where it slips on center minute arbor.īut if I am correct and that bushing is working like a stop, then inserting a screwdriver blade between the plate and bushing and with a twisting action you might be able to scoot the bushing over making it tighter. I am only guessing as I can only sort of see it. If after examining carefully, you may have success inserting a semi wide flat blade screwdriver and with twisting motion get the brass bushing that the arrow is pointing at to slide.
