Once I get it back in its case I will post a picture
Just as a side note to anyone else who fancies having a tinker with one of these old alarm clocks the pivots are just a length of pivot steel that runs through a white metal arbor, I was putting the top plate back on when I noticed one of the wheels had one of its pivots missing. I thought I must have been clumsy and snapped it off so took the wheel back out, got it all lined up to centre punch where it had broken off, so I thought, flush with the arbor, rested a fine punch on the top and gave it a very gentle tap, just to mark it so I was sure I was in the centre. The centre of the arbor, well what I thought was the centre, moved further inside. I took the wheel out of the clamp and then saw the pivot the other side was twice as long as it had been. Ok, it takes a while for my poor brain to work out that the pivot steel was loose and ran all through the arbor. Thought I would share this just in case anyone else experiences this problem.
