Ah, new information rda1, you should have mentioned the metal sound when you PMd me. It sounds like the rotor has come loose. Quick fix. Either you can do it yourself (I'll tell you how) if you can get the back off, or you can send it to me if you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brightlight 0 Posted August 31, 2010 If you can get the back off (you can use a ball of duck tape) you will probably see something like this - Turn the movement upside down, the screw and probably the rotor will fall out. Put the rotor back and the screw in the hole in the middle and tighten with a jeweller's screwdriver of the correct size to fit the screw. If this is not what you find, take a close up pic and post it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
