How to check and repair the clockwork timer?

The failure of the timer usually occurs on the reed and the contact point.

Due to the frequent contact of the contacts of the timer, the contact instantaneous current is very large, and the contact often occurs oxidation, corrosion and other phenomena, which will result in poor contact of the timer.

The action transformation of the timer is done by the action of the reed, and if the elasticity of the reed is poor, the reed is not in place when the reed is used for a long time.

In the process of repairing the timer, we must be careful, first use a fine screwdriver to carefully remove the timer shell, so as to avoid messing up the gear system; then twist the spindle of the timer, carefully observe the contact situation of each reed and contact.

If the reed is not in place, you can use the sharp nose pliers carefully adjust its initial angle, until the contact can be contacted well; if it is the contact corrosion fault, you can use fine sandpaper, small file grinding contact, grinding work should be careful and careful, to avoid grinding out sharp corners, burrs, after grinding, the electricity is observed, and if the contact is no longer sparking and the contact is bad, then it is repaired; if not, still need to repeat the above practice, until the repair.
