I'm finally getting around to fixing a batch of small clocks for a fellow brickboarder. I've had them laying around for a while.

Anyways, I don't have a dremel tool, but a large pipe cutter worked very well for cutting open the case. I cracked a circuit board on the one with which I was too hasty - I tightened down too much on one rotation, and it bent the case in just a tad; it made the extraction of the circuit board a very tight fit.

So I'm replacing the capacitors: they're marked "100/16 M5," so they're 100 uF. I read a post suggesting replacing with "220 microfarad 35 VDC... Radio Shack p/n 272-1029." I suppose I'll try it, although I'm not sure if the difference in values is an upgrade, or because it's the closest match available.

My biggest question is: does anyone know the value of the resistor that's in the circuit? The one that I could read well looked like brown(1) red(2) brown(1), with a silver tolerance band. Is this correct, and is my judgement of 120 ohms also correct?

I don't plan on replacing all of the resistors, but on one clock the resistor was burned completely out of the circuit, and fell into my hands when the case was opened. The colored bands were burned from visibility.

thanks for reading,
