Smiths Sectric very weak motor
Hello All
I'm new here and was hoping to find advice regarding a poorly Smiths clock.
The mechanism and motor all move freely but the motor frequently stalls, even when the next gear spindle is removed - it can barely drive itself.
Inspecting the rotor, I find that the magnetic poles are very weak and variable.
Does anyone know the pole layout and an effective method of re-gaussing the rotor, or is it destined for the dreaded quartz swap?
TIA
Andy
