I purchased a Junghans Anticlimatic mantle clock and am trying to understand the electrical mechanism to it. I know it is an electromagnet that had a #8 or #9 1.5V black square battery which is of no concern due to having a power supply to test it. My research shows conflicting info on the transistor, capacitor, and older model with gold contacts. Mine is a newer model without contacts. it has 2- leads from battery going to a small box in the base with Red, blue,& green terminals from right to left. Clock viewed from rear has a coil on the left which the 3 (R,B&G) wires go into. The coil is inside a brass cylinder which the pendulum bar passes
- Mine appears to only have a 0.1uf capacitor inside the box connected to the red and green terminal. No transistor is present to switch the current? I did
pull the capacitor out to check behind it, only the wires no transistor.
`I know the coil for the magnet tend to go bad but I am going to try to replace the capacitor/Transistor? first due to the $70 to have the coil re-done.
Any help on the wiring and capacitor/ transistor schematic. instructions would help me greatly. ANY input is appreciated. TY much.
