The 'E' Type Forum

It probably is dirt in the movement then. They do seem to clean up well though. I even got this one stabilize for a clean and lube: cluncker2.jpg Just wish I knew what it was from, cos I've seen nothing quite like it, like a Rover P6 one but with the red hands. The problem is in removing the bezel. ...

Ok - thanks for that explanation - my clock has always worked but never runs on time but I have never been tempted to pull it apart. There's an adjuster down a hole in the back that may fix it. Looking from the back, turns clockwise its running slow, anti-clockwise if fast. It seems to vary between...

Took me a while to get to it - most of yesterday, I was up to me elbows upgrading a Herald dashboard to Vitesse like spec - but here's a picture of a disassembled Kienzle Model 8015: autopsy..JPG The 8014 is the same, but the plastic is blue, and the 8013 also has a chrome bezel.

I was a bit worried, because I sold a green one to someone restoring a series 3 E-Type V12, and was concerned it might have been wrong - though I did say it was a green backlight one in the listing. But I'm reassured now and can list the other I have without worry. Any info on what ...

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help with some information on E-Types. I bought a couple of broken Kienzle electro-mechanical dashboard clocks (and repaired them), which I thought were all the same and all fit both Daimler DS420 and E-Type (I think series 3 V12). However, one odd one lights up blue ...
