Clock Dino 2400 Coupè Need Help

Post by Carlo64 »

Hallo, I'm a new member, having some troubles with Veglia Clock of my 1971 2400 Coupè in restoration. It doesn't work and my mechanic says problem is in the diode, probably not the right one. Is there anyone can help me to know exactly which is the diode for my device?

Thanks.

Carlo

Hi Carlo, and welome!

Did your mechanic open up the clock? If so, you can check the diodes with an ohm meter. More than the diode, he could be referring to the transistor (type BC148C, can be replaced with a generic NPN that has h>450) I repaired my clock that was not running, but the problem was mechanical, not electronic. The clock needs special light-weight clock oil applied with a special applicator to avoid excess on the escape mechanism. In the end, I brought the dismantled clock to a shop to have it cleaned and oiled, which solved the problem.

Good luck,
Dario
