Hi all,
Lately my accutron guys have been bringing in clocks to work on. Today however one had a 218 that had acted up. He said the second hand moves but hour and minute hand wouldn't. Usually that means a worn minute wheel assembly but in this case that part was seized onto the center post. I decided to take a picture and share with you all in case there was any interest in what is under the dial of a 218. Notice the 3 springs that are laying around. The first time I tried to work on one of these I lost every one. I told my wife they were like cocking a mouse trap and then deciding to put on the cheese. Anyway I hope someone enjoys the picture.
