·I’ve had a problem with my unusual Accutron 214 Railroader for the past week or so. At times, the time was totally erratic. Hours out in a day, but never found it stopped. Too busy to worry too much about it. This one has a history, beginning in 1967, when it was made. Someone stripped the threaded dial posts, and the dial was held on by sticky tape, allowing too much end-shake on the hour wheel. This wheel occasionally would skip a few teeth on the minute wheel pinion, allowing the hour wheel (and hour hand) to wander. Solved that by fitting a dial washer.😁
