Something a little different to work on. A German Schuco toy from the 1930's. If you repair clocks, these should be easy... or are they?

It has the box with all accessories and an instruction booklet showing how to play with it. But the winding click is broken! The square hole in the center of the clock is oversized and stripped out.

Getting the mechanism out of the car body is not easy. I started to get the impression that this thing was not made to be repaired.

The movement is not held together with screws. It has bent metal tabs. The new click was made from a section of old clock spring.

The new click/click spring in place in the movement.

Reassembly of the movement is a problem. The metal tabs which hold the plates together broke off when bending them back down. So, it's time to get creative. I added a screw to the movement to hold it together.

Now it works!

Good job!

Interesting, never saw anything like it.
