Broken Smiths Classic Rev Counter
I have been tinkering today, and have noticed that my smiths rev counter (old dolly sprint style) is broken. All the connections to the coil etc seem
ok.
Is there anything inside that could have burnt out which is user fixable, or is consigned to scrap bin?
Cheers,
The Baron

most likely a dry solder joint,
or the winding inside is rotted away, in which case its scrap
but it is possible to get them reconed
what ever dont chuck it in the scrap.

They use very simple circuitry, always worth taking it apart and having a look.

This book has a section on repairing instruments.
I had a browse thru it at the local library.
Check yours or not too expensive to buy
