Anglefire Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Being positive here (Like what I did there) it could be the reversal caused the tick tock solenoid to go backwards and free itself and making it right allowed it to start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppyman Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Thats good as your car is neg earth. If the clock was mounted in wood it would be isolated. so if you had a pos to the earth point? The clock body would be live. but the clock would work. Sounds gobledegook. but its ok if it works. Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug They are from Cuba about 3 weeks ago. They are from a village that uses a 100% natural process no preservatives. Apparently they only last a month and that's pretty much up! A friend was taking them to Spain but obviously that's not happening now. They do look very dry though. I'm dubious. Free to a good home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
