Hi
I bought one of these from Aircraft Spruce USA a year ago.
It stopped running; the battery seems to have gone flat, so I changed
it.
It now works, but the stopwatch RESET function takes the hands back to
a weird position, not the 12:00 position which is what should happen.
Aircraft Spruce have stopped selling this clock and have not helped.
They can't even supply a manufacturer's part number (???) saying that
they bought it on description alone...
E/Benz in USA and Switzerland do not reply to emails or faxes at all -
obviously deliberate.
Does anyone know the procedure for setting it up, following a battery
change?
It cost USD 350 so I don't want to chuck it in the bin, and the
aircraft is illegal for IFR without a clock...
Incidentally this appears to be a $10 cheap clock mechanism, inside a
fancy housing. Just like the previous clock I had, an LC-2 whose
internals were about $2 and which cost $200. There is so much junk
around in this business.
Peter.
