So I resoldered the wires and put a tiny piece of isolation tape between them. So I slightly moved the other wires, trying to avoid contacts among them. I checked with the multimeter that red and white had power, and they had. (Blue, orange and yellow wires, The red and white ones carry the power from the battery). I followed the wires until the day-of-week engine: I uused my pliers for this.īut nothing happened. Now that we know how this mechanism work, we can mimic it on the cable, first shorting the middle contact with the bottom, then with the top. And after resoldering, this goes properly out to the contacts. As the clock turns, it does first an electrical bridge between the bottom pcb track and the middle one, and later on between the middle and the top track. As you can see on the picture, it is a simple mechanism. I noticed some wobling at the connector side, so I resoldered the three spots on the left of the picture. The contacts lay below it, and in my case were fine. I was thinking on a contact failure at the analog clock side, so I took out the clock handles and carefully removed the thin clock face background (i'ts fixed with double side adhesive tape).
