Landeron 248 - minute recording doesnt work

[Khan]

Hi

The wheel marked with red doesnt turn  it's not close enough to the pin on chrono wheel. I have turned on the screws marked green but this is the closest I can get. The pin only gets touched on the edge. Please help

Kind regards Khan

The tall green eccentric is to adjust how far the sliding gear lifts when the chrono is zeroed. The lower green one is to adjust the depthing between the sliding gear and the minute recording wheel. There is another eccentric that is hard to get to, partially under the operating lever, where the red circle is. This adjusts the engagement of the sliding gear with the finger.

 

When you get the engagement correct, check the tension of the minute jumper- it looks rather bent, and possibly has far too much tension.
