Default Re: Smiths sectronic Mk1

The Sectronic mk1 has a moving coil movement, the faults with these are either the coils have become scuffed by the permanent magnet, this usually happens if the clock gets a heavy knock whilst running. I have also seen leaky or dud germanium transistors and a leaky capacitor. It is not usually a mechanical fault.
