RESTORING 3 NUMBER 2 MECCANO CLOCKWORK MOTORS

Disassembly

Cleaning and Fixing

Reassembly

I bought these three clockwork motors on Ebay.

The two on the left are No1's and the far right is a No2.

The one No1 will not wind and the No2 is missing a control arm that I will have to duplicate.

All three need to be resprayed.

Disassembly is pretty straight forward. Remove the top cover carefully and take out all the gears

while holding down the spring. Next pull the spring out.

Note the broken reverse lever on this No2 that will have to be duplicated.

All the motors disassembled and ready to be inspected, cleaned and resprayed.
