Dave's 41 fuze

[SG500]

This ones a real gem, looks like it was made yesterday.
I like the fact that the AZ ZEIT switch works, its the only one I have where it does.
All INERT etc.

Lovely Fuze there Dave.. have you ever thought of winding it up to see if it would still operate ? (FFE of course)

 

[SG500]

Thanks Nismosonic, that's the plan, I could use a bit of advice on which bit to wind. I have gently pushed some of the cogs round and they all seem to rotate easily enough and the springs are good too so hopefully it would tick away OK.
Any advice on where to start winding? Don't want to break it by pushing the wrong thing.

I think maybe Satan is the one to ask there.

Lou you can strip the ground dug ones, the 3 screws are a bit tricky to undo but once inside its surprising what good condition they're in. I'll post a few photos of the one I managed to take to bits. OK the cogs don't turn on a ground dug one (unless your like Satan and take them completely to bits) but it gives you a good idea).

Another nice fuse Dave with a lot of potential.as for ticking i think
if you blink then its gone 3to 5 sec delay i think.

The quadrant of teeth is its running duration.

As for dug up examples,hear are a few i am playing with at the moment,and with care can be made to work again.

Best keep an eye on mine and waffs postings in the foreseable future
as we might have one or two 41s for you to play with.

Whatever the out come of the dug up fuses thay can only be improved on
as they would only have dissolved in the ground and lost for good.

Thanks for all your help guys, I think I know what to do now. Will experiment in a few days when the kids have finished running around the ceiling with excitement!
