This i...Hi,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment and question.<br /><br />This is a link to my old blog post on the C7. It has a wiring diagram at the bottom of the post. Link below. Though it is not very clear. The original image would be on a very old hard drive and no longer accessible.<br /><br />https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kw_sn04vt-I/U5hA1Pw-klI/AAAAAAAAUCQ/ur2iAoY5SUc/s1600/diagram_C7+rsz.jpg<br /><br />https://waitingtrain.blogspot.com/2008/08/pulsynetic-master-clock.html<br /><br />There are wiring diagrams on the NAWCC forum. But you need to become a member to access the images full size.<br /><br />Ask me again if this doesn't help.<br /><br />Regards<br />Chris.B <br />Chris.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986753919505764942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081812713339411328.post-81721417858635330302021-02-17T16:48:47.912+01:002021-02-17T16:48:47.912+01:00Hi, thank you for your article.

I understand a few about wiring but really out of clue connecting the capcitor and resister mounted above the movement. Do you have detailed wiring diagram of C7? Very much appreciated.

It will also maintain the dial's value if you ever want to sell it on.<br /><br />So, what you need is one of these: <br /><br />"Master Clock-Pulse Generator for Slave Clocks and Slave Dials"<br /><br />Do a search for this term and you'll find the eBay vendor and his recent auctions.<br /><br />He auctions his impulse modules regularly.<br /><br />Probably as affordable as 2 heavy duty quartz movements and then all the messing about adapting the hands to fit.<br /><br />Regards<br />ChrisChris.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986753919505764942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081812713339411328.post-71120545307251614402014-08-26T13:23:04.604+02:002014-08-26T13:23:04.604+02:00Hi Chris

Discovering that the movements are slave movements I guess I could just replace them with a couple of quartz movements. But it would be much nicer to use electronics to make the slaves work, but I've no idea what it needs, or how I would do it - A-level physics being rather too long ago. I feel sure that somebody must have come up with a solution, and wonder whether it's you?!

So it may not fetch such a high price as one of similar age and condition with the glass intact.<br /><br />Chris.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986753919505764942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081812713339411328.post-5078239748313972542014-04-29T14:18:39.235+02:002014-04-29T14:18:39.235+02:00How much is normally a fully working all original ...How much is normally a fully working all original 1950s Gents Leicester Pulsynetic C7 worth, including original dial, hands and case, only glass broken?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362159972905485811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081812713339411328.post-71426182547501551302011-12-07T07:44:12.768+01:002011-12-07T07:44:12.768+01:00I really enjoy to read it.I really enjoy to read it.John Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835208144731784910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081812713339411328.post-48394417331531262872010-11-28T16:36:10.179+01:002010-11-28T16:36:10.179+01:00Hi Juan

It was going to end up in the garbage and I saved it. It works but I have no idea how the 2 huge magnets work and why they are attached to leads. I placed a 1.5v battery to them and they moved and they made some noise but again I don't know what they did.<br />I can send you pictures. <br /><br />Can you help me.

The C7 con...Sorry I missed your question until now. The C7 controls the WT via a short electrical impulse every half minute. The WT runs independently from a 20Volts DC supply. Though the WT pendulum continues to swing the WT stops the drive to the clock hands for a few seconds each half minute. It does this by mechanically raising the gathering pawl from the teeth of the ratchet wheel. The WT then waits for the C7 to restart the drive via a the small electromagnet. This electromagnet releases the catch which had raised the gathering pallet and held it up. When the catch drops the WT can continue to drive the hands normally for about another half minute. It is the precise timing of the release which keeps the WT running to the same accuracy as the C7.Chris.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986753919505764942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081812713339411328.post-24580276860088935552009-07-11T18:38:52.903+02:002009-07-11T18:38:52.903+02:00i wanted to ask a question.if the C7 master is res...i wanted to ask a question.if the C7 master is responsible directly for the movement of the gent WT turrent you also discussed. and if so how? thank youAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967108327100758363noreply@blogger.com
