taking apart the ferschlugginer small clock 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Dharvey on  Tue Jan 13 12:24 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi, Giiis--

Based on discussion on an earlier thread, I got out my Dremel and cut off the back flange of the bezel. Got it off, got the surround and the glass and the adjust knob off, took out the two screws at the back.

Hmmmm. Now the mechanism is loose in the housing and slides forward maybe 1/4" but it still doesn't want to come out. What am I missing?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Doug Harvey

    Doug,
    I hope you got your clock fixed. My earlier response looks a little hurried and hope you didn't think it was meant to be flippant.

      Art--no problem 200

      But I haven't fixed it yet. I put the magnifier on that tiny little brass ring and it sure looks like a soldered poke-through. I spoze that's what you're talking about.

      I've got a small solderer that's just perfect for things like this. But it's run off and hid.

      Once I get the guts out, are the capacitors in plain view?

        Yes, you have it as soon as you can find that iron. The capacitors are on either side of the lamp-- a fact I didn't give much notice to until extending the lamp further into the clock. Here's what they look like, though the picture shows the large clock, the parts are the same.



        BTW, I saw a soldering pencil in a blister pack at odd lots or big lots (a liquidator) for $2.

          My clock is also dead and this looks a warm project
          What value seems to work?
          Thanks

            I believe it will be happy with 100 microfarads. Nowadays I'm pretty certain you could find 35V or 50V ratings even smaller physically than the original; but you are plenty covered with 20 volts. If you're planning to stop by radio shack or somewhere on the way home, I believe the radial lead caps in the clock are about 3/8 dia. and about 1/2" high.

    I always wondered how to spell it :-) 200

    Sorry that I can contribute any useful suggestions, but I thank you for writing -- having heard the word "ferschlugginer", I've wondered how it was spelled. Thanks.
    And seriously, good luck with the clock.
