I've been wanting to add my own personal touches to my Safari since buying it a few months back, though the previous owner didn't really leave me much to do
![]() Figured I'd see if i could get the clock working. Turns out there are only a few issues that arise, and getting something working again that's 50 years old is just... well, coool. Keep in mind this was my first shot at doing a how-to, so go easy Hope it is helpful to someone.The two problems I had: 1. Contacts worn down to basically nothing. 2. No voltage to the coil that powered the movement. Here are 2 videos where I tried to detail what was broken and the fixes I performed. http://youtu.be/FlOY_tkYqaY (part 1) http://youtu.be/lPMhv18gbfQ (part 2) Here are some pix showing more detail.
