Hello,

 

I know, this is not the usual watch/clock type you are working and discussing on here, but: I have a wonderful old Braun 4821 alarm clock with a complete stutterfree second hand (a dream to watch). The only thing: the alarm doesn’t go off. It clicks - and: silence. Battery is new. The "movement" has the numbers 4 809.

I also know that these models weren’t made to ever be repaired and it is no big problem that the alarm is silent, as the time is shown properly. But I wanted to know if one of you out there might have a clue if I can just clean a contact or something else?

 

Thanks in advance!

This is not my field when it comes to clocks. I used to restore mechanical clocks.

The only thing I can suggest is try to get to the movement and clean the contacts. This type of clock movement are just throw away when they pack up. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

I never understood why alarms sound so terrible. Every one of you heard this sound and it's just awful. I also never liked to put a bug on the phone because it is very easy to turn it off. That is why I love using bluetooth wake-up calls. This is really very convenient. I found the  best models of bluetooth alarm clocks on the Internet on the Internet and decided to download them. As a result, I started to wake up much faster and my son became more stable. So the bluetooth alarm clock helped me normalize my sleep pattern. By the way, here you can find a detailed overview of each model!

      An intro…

      By HorologyHead · Posted

      RichardHarris123: Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  I have family all over Australia, went as £10 poms Thanks Richard. Hope you’re able to visit your family here and that they’ve all done well 🙂 My relatives arrived from England in the 1790s transported on the ‘Second & Third Fleets’—a story of timber sailing ships, of convicts and doing well in this huge Country of Australia. When I visited the UK in the 1980s, I was too young to comprehend the depth and breadth of its history…  Best wishes, Mike William Chapman, my 4th great Grandad’s charges, at age 23 read at the Old Bailey; sentenced to 7 years of transportation to Sydney.

      New balance staff not riveting to balance

      The whole process and the progress are closely observed, it's hand-driven and very controlled. I can't see the "danger", unless you are watching the TV while doing it. As you could have read, and in this quote "wheel" is the balance-wheel.

      AS2063 - hand setting

      By Mercurial · Posted

      Have you got the pallet fork installed in the movement when you see the train move when using the setting works? As nevenbekriev said, without the pallet fork to lock the train, the behaviour you are describing is normal. If this is happening with the pallet fork installed, you have a problem in the gear train, it should be immobile when the pallet fork is locking the escape wheel.  The fit of the circlip above the pinions on that wheel is crooked in your pictures, it should sit flat up against the upper pinion as in Marc’s picture.  Hope that helps, Mark

      Stem broken - can it be rescued?

      By Khan · Posted

      Hi I got a Jaeger LeCoultre K911 movement, where one of the stems was broken. Part no. Should be 401.  Im based in Europe and tried Cousins but its discontinued. They except to get stem in stock for cal. K916 but will that work? Or Is there a way out to join the ends?

      The part was how it fell out of the movement - the train wheel bridge wasn’t screwed in.    I’ll probably dismantle the part, if I can, to work it out.    The train of wheels ran fine - it was only once the keyless works were installed I noticed the problem.
