Hi All,
Been a while since i posted anything so here is a teaser of some good swag ive been acquiring..

I do have a few questions about this item also.

Ive got this from a good pal and fellow BOCN member.
The main spring was undoS7007703.jpgne at the bottom and a few bits put back wrong.(according to my watchmender buddy),as i believe this one was stripped for research years ago?

NowS7007702.jpg after a lot of toil,we have managed to get it running but it can only 'fire' once as designed too therefore a couple of tweeks by my pal and it wS7007708.jpgill be a fully ticking unit but will not draw back again on the plunger/firing pin. That suits me as i just like to hear it tick :)

cheers

There are some parts in the box also plus a copy of a cutaway as original booklet missing. If anyone could copy me one then i would be very grateful. :)

There are a couple of waff-stamps on the front of fuze near around the gauge glass plus one on the box.
Im told this is an early series one and more desirable?

Will be very happy once my pal has finished the mechanism clean-up and minor tweeks.

cheers

of course, my friend, here you are:

1. unscrew the cover from the device
2. wind up the clockwork with the (outer) winding drum in direction of arrow
3. setting time with the (inner) adjusting knob Zt in direction of arrow
4. screw in the cover firmly
5. unscrew the protection cap (fuze thread) and insert a det cap
6. screw in the device on the charge
7. remove the 'blind'-screw
8. screw in the 'scharf'/live-screw

"release the safety catch"

in case the screw doesn't go in completely, the whole device isn't in order (!)

9. switch the starter ring in position 'geht'/go
