Re: AEG component identification
Thank you Lucien. I think I'm the one who ought to apologise for always bringing the intellectual level down with wee laddie questions!
The motor can be run at three speeds which are each multiples of the beat rate for particular escapements, driven by an EL84 and a crystal oscillator. Triggering for the other examples I have is via a thyratron connected to the microphone input which fires a solenoid to bang the paper against the inked helix. I haven't drawn this version out yet, but I guess the principle is the same.
The bit I've called the coil is this ribbed object, which has several wires going into its casing. Perhaps the yellow/blue are to do with triggering as the remaining one looks the same type and size as the other end which comes from the circuit we've been discussing and goes to the marking wire.
