Thank you very much! This video is really helpful. People can repair their own clocks at home. As well as it helps to avoid throwing old damaged clocks into garbage or side of road or street. Repairing and restoring old clocks helps to keep the environment clean and healthy as well as avoid wastage of old ones.

I have been watching these clock repair videos for quite sometime .Nothing ever comes close to yours. I am so thankful to you for your great video. Please keep posting such useful videos.

After following your lead, i managed to get my clock working again. Thank you. Clear, precise and informative. Top man

Wow very helpful and clear vid! Had a sudden urge to fix my parents' wall clock that hasn't been working in years. Saw your video and with trial and error on the parts, I found that the problem was inefficient pressure on the power board! Got some tape in there and now it's perfect! Thanks for your guide on how to assemble it!

Huge Thanks to you!! I've finally fixed my Nightmare Before Christmas wall clock!!!

Good video mine done that and after finding this video is happily working again clear instructions . Mine did not have the copper bit in the end but plastic

Thank you for this video!! I have the exact same Mechanism in my clock,which had not been working for a while so I decided to take it apart and with your helpful video I managed to get it back together and it's now working, so thanks heaps😊

Thanks for this mate. 👍 👍👍 Although Alibaba (and their '8 weeks if you're lucky' shipping) has lots of these mechanisms, you need to be precise as to dimensions and diameters, and the particular one I need is unavailable, so I pulled my mechanism apart to find that one of the battery-to-PCB contacts had corroded. In doing the pull down, bits went everywhere, of course, so your video helped me get it all back together again after I addressed the corroded contact. 👍👍👍

Thanks a lot for all your efforts. I got mine apart and one of the wheels had some broken cogs. Hence why it was ticking and only worked for a little while. Thanks again and keep safe you and yours.

Perfect! I didn't know how the electro-magnetic mechanism worked...only that there is the quartz crystal controlled oscillator. Now I can set about taking my old LL Bean ( seiko) moon phase mecanism apart. It "fibbulates) instead of doing a full tick...so maybe clean and lube will do it. Thumbs Up !

Thank you for this video! Fixing my clock really made my day ;-)

Thank you very very much, very helpful. Rescued me!!!

Thank you so much. My mechanism came a part whike trying to clean the circuit board and connectors and I refused to purchaseanother cheap China made mechanism. Your video was very helpful in helping me reassemble and get it working properly. Cheers.

​ @TripplikitElectronics Plastic can be lubricated, but it requires a very careful choice of lubricant. A conventional oil or grease will act as a solvent against the plastic. Silicone and PFPE oils are generally safe on all plastics.

The driver IC divides the 32768Hz crystal down to create pulsed AC with alternating plus-minus pulses every second. The permanent magnet rotor has north on 180 degrees an south on the other 180 degrees. The four points on the electromagnet are 90 degrees apart and when energized will pull the rotor to be centered between the two like poles of the electromagnet. When the pulse ends, the electromagnet de-energizes and the rotor rebounds to its resting position off center of the point at which it was when energized. Gaps between the rotor and stator are slightly smaller at the two points anticlockwise from the energized position, causing the rotor to move predictably anticlockwise at the next pulse which has opposite polarity. In other words, this is an AC motor with predictable resting positions.

شكرا لك يا سيدي على هذا الفيديو المفيد لقد اصلحت ساعتي التي لم تكن تعمل منذ فتره 😉😉😉😉👑

Na maioria das vezes o problema é só de mau contado na saída de alimentação das placas para as ferragens de suporte das pilhas. Pode-se acertar o contato, colocando novamente a pressão adequada ou soldando um fio na saída da placa para a ferragem, usando ferro de soldar com potência acima de 40W e um bom fluxo de solda. Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷

Excellent video, really helped me assemble the clock back together!

What typicaly kills them is the shaft piviots (bearings) wear loose to a point where the mechnism binds up and stops . I have seen people put a tiny drop of clock oil on these points and get them back running again, I have also seen the battery bars corrode make bad contact and stop them as well. but if the bearings are worn badly enougth oiling wont fix them . its important to note these mechnisums do come with the option of the threaded shaft that goes thorugh the clock face having a number of diffrent lengths , you can get them with the option of having a swinging fake pendulum, some tick off the seconds and that noise anoys some people , some run second hand smooth and dont tick as they operate ..

There are only 2 possible causes for the failure. Plastic expanding or Battery replacement method. Because the clock just sits on the wall there is no physical contact other than changing the battery. The rechargeable battery may have a larger diameter than non rechargeable which may push the contact off causing the loss of power. The 2nd clock must have cheaper plastic that's wearing or expanding. The magnet gear is not seating in the socket so its slipping. The replacement hands could be binding causing the magnet gear to wear the points causing it to jump the teeth. It may need a shim to hold it in place.

I had one where the battery had a slight leak and it creaped up the metal strips to the pcb, made a mess of the copper pads. But after a clean, the clock started ok :-D I have also had ones that stop for no reason, the clock divider+coil driver must have been dead.

Good repair

Clesrly explained! Thank you 👍

Cleaning those pressure electrical contact tabs should go a long way toward making the clock reliable. if you don't have contact cleaner...then rubbing alcohol and a paper towel will do it.. dry with the a paper towel because it is mildly abrasive which is good.

I have 2 that are late and I have already disarmed it several times without a possible solution, as I saw in a video, increasing the voltage intensity is corrected, and this is achieved by placing an extra battery in parallel that would add intensity while maintaining the same voltage.

Gracias por publicar! excelente video...! el problema de mi reloj de pared, es que el filamento de bronce de la bobina esta suelto. No lo he podido reparar.

Thank you ❤

I got one that seems to work fine for a few weeks/months and then suddenly begins losing time. When I check the battery voltage, it's at around 1.4V (new one read 1.6V). I've cleaned the PCB with IPA and even touched up the solder joints with my iron. The gears don't seem to be dirty or look damaged. It's difficult to troubleshoot since I have to wait potentially weeks or months to see if what I did made any difference. Not really sure what's up with it.

Useful ❤

Thank you so much!

I have lost the cog that you put in at 14:57 the transparent cog. Do you know where I can get this singular cog?

I have got a problem with my clock, the second hands got ticking then it have stop ticking and the time are going really fast. Do you know why? I have been advised to replace all of these gears which I don't think I would need to?

Nice Thank You. It was very help full.

Thanks I trids lot finally I got it☺️☺️☺️👍👍

I have a small doubt . The Third gear from the drive gear which is on the top . why there are circular cut paths??

muchas gracias mi reloj era igual q el segundo que explicasteis, millón gracias

Good video i to use my fingers and the tweezers sitting on the bench

Great video!👍👍

I had a watch do that recently. Losing time, then stopping. New battery put in a month ago.

Do you have a part number for the mechanism. The cog that connects to the magnetized one looks similar to the one that I have that's malformed.

Thank you Sir

Quartz Chime. When I hear the little "click" at the top of the hour just prior to the chime going off, the chime does not sound. In your expert opinion, what is the problem?

Love you👏🏼

I have a quartz clock mechanism I'm trying to repair any tips on how to repair it?

Good job man. it helped alot.

MUITO interessante

I have a Braun BC02BL clock. It doesn't work well. The minute hand doesn't move and remains ever in the same position. The seconds hand works well. What about my problem? Does someone know?

Clumsy piece of work.

Hi How can I Make 24 Hours And 45 Minutes Clocks Measurement Let's Say For Other Planets well Actually My Circadian Rhythm Is 24 Hours and about 48 Minutes on Average I have Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder Dspd Non-24 Hours some People Call Me Martians I Know It Is Frustrating To Wake Up 45 Minutes Later Every Day But I accepted This As a 32-year-Old i am interested To Make Clock That Tracks My Body clock Do You Know Any Html Or JavaScript Or Any Other Codes To make or Is there any Html Codes Of Martian Time That I Can change It From 39 Minutes To 45-48 Minutes Longer? If Not How Can I Slow Down A Quartz Clock To Run little Slower 3% Percent Slower Thank You So Much Sir I hope You Have Some Solutions For Me

Wh9oa there pardner! Way, way too much oil!!! A tiny bit on each shaft is it. None on the gears. Just clean the gears with a clean lint free rag.

silly sod. all you do is buy a cheap clock from Poundland and swap the bits in your clock. don't need to get someone to do it. the heads just push on
