I have a jeco clock from my Datsun 240z that I'm trying to repair. The clock has a small 12v dc motor that drives the clock gearing. The dc motor has a 600 ohm resistor in series on the negative leg. The motor works when out of the clock mechanism. The mechanism has been oiled with clock oil and seems to be free. But when I add the motor to the gear mechanism it doesn't spin. Any suggestions?

      Re-plating: what metal is this?

      By mikepilk · Posted

      Are there any areas on the case where there is still what looks like plating? It just looks like solid tarnished metal from what I can see. If it was plated, it would still be intact between the lugs, and it doesn't look any different to the sides. It's odd that the bezel is a different colour.  I would just try to polish it, and see how it comes out.  Plating is not that difficult - though it is a bit of an art to get perfect results. Power supplies are not expensive, about the same as the chemicals you would need. I copper plate first, as it sticks to most metals, fills defects and forms a good base layer for whatever you plate on top -  nickel in my case.  As @praezis suggests, if you want it plating, take it to a plating company for advice.

      Looking at the photos I'd say it was an underlay crystal and the bezel will need to come off.

      A bergeon one would be about the best money can buy. I'm not sure how much they are now for a new one. But they pop up on ebay from time to time for about 50 quid,  you want the small adjustable platform as well that sets up the spacing on the crystal to leave room on it when fitting it bsck into the case bezel.

      An inexpensive generic crystal lift, under $20 on Esslinger.com, is fine to remove the crystal on a vintage watch and fine to reinsert one. If you start working on more valuable watches, getting a better crystal lift might be necessary since these cheaper ones can be a little rough in the jaws. If you are not careful it is easier to scratch a crystal with these than with a $120 version. The other difference is in how smooth the screw action is on the more expensive Swiss one.  It does take some practice no matter what to install a crystal with this tool, and you can expect to not get your first one or two right without some scratches when installing. But if @caseback is right and this is a 2 piece case, then it opens up other better options to install a new crystal with a press of some sort instead.

      Thanks Neverenough.  That's exactly why I posted this.  I'd rather wear it dirty than destroy it. I took a high powered magnifier and looked all along the crystal and found no evidence of prying, so my presupposition was that the glass came off.  I'd never heard of a crystal lift, and don't have one.   Is there one you recommend?  Would one from Amazon suffice for my purposes?
