I was thinking about getting into one of my Kaiser's...it keeps stopping while trying to raise the minute hand through 45 minutes. I've been told that the previous owner put the wrong main springs in them.
Is there anything unusual over a regular 400-Day clock about them? Looks like there are extra arbors to drive the small moon. Plus the anchor pin is not vertical but canted off to the side. The repair guide mentions something different about how the center arbor works and/or drives the motion works. Plus, I'm still not sure how to get the pendulum ball off.
But one thing I've found I'm not prepared to handle are cannon pinion's that are pressed onto the arbor...like those on the Schatz Model 53 and like a Huber I recently encountered. I just haven't gotten around to getting the necessary tools.
So are there things like that which will make it more difficult to take apart and put back together?? I'd rather not get half way through teardown only to find an issue that I can't resolve.
Thanks...Kurt
