Question
Hi
On these clocks just above the point where the hands attach is a small dial that I think is to adjust the fast/slow. Which way do you turn to slow down and how much should one have to move to adjust for 30 min to fast time in a 24 hour period? Thanks
you say "dial" --you mean horizontal thumb wheel sticking out a slot?
if there is no "S" or "F" at the ends of the slot -then I do not know --towards the S if there is. Try two turns one way and see what happens - if iit is only 20 minutes fast in 24 hours, you went the right way! keep a log to get it right with out covering the same moves twice in error.
