Hello. So i just bought this JL tableclock, but I have no clue how to make it work. Should be a simple task right? Maybe im stupid but i cant get it to run for more than 5 mins. Maybe its broken. So the left wheel is to set the time. The other two I cant figure, but probably the other one is to wind? But i cant get it to turn more than 60 degrees. Whats the top lever for?
Big key is for winding, smaller button to set the time. But it may be broken/gummed up indeed. The "top lever" is a sliding cover; underneath lies the regulator arm and the balance bridge.
No, it depends on the problem and I don't have any magical powers to know what's wrong: it could be gummed up or seized up (nastier!); the mainspring could also be broken. What I do know is that a simple service is at least 200-250eur in my area, and that they are... interesting to dismantle (heavy balance, long and thin pivots, yay).
