Hi all,
I am new to this forum and was hoping for some advice. I recently purchased a Gents of Leicester C7 Master clock (#5933; circa late 1950s I think) which after a little adjustment is now running very nicely from a small 12v sealed led acid battery with a solar trickle charger attached. I would now like to add a C69 bell controller which I have also purchased (slightly more recent vintage from a school in Northern England). My question is how to add the C69 to the circuit. I have tested the C69 and it works well. I know it needs to be in series but as I can't trace all the wiring in the C7 I am a but nervous about attaching it. The C7 has two large terminals one on either side of the case. I have used these to connect the power and all works as it should. But where should the C69 be wired. I am concerned that I may need to change the wiring to the internal slave built into the C7 to ensure everything is in series. But surely Gents would have made it easier that this??
Any advice would be appreciated.
Richard
