48 Chrysler clock repair help

Well done on the repair. I acquired a clock for my 38 Dodge. Mounted in the glovebox. Wasn't going but with a careful clean it has sprung into life. I don't watch much TV but there is a program that I try to see every week. It's called "The Repair Shop" and is made in the uk. Easy to find on the 'net. People bring in their cherished but neglected family treasures and a team of very clever craftspeople restore them to their former glory. Paintings, artworks, clocks, furniture items, musical instruments, teddy bears etc. etc.

The program shows how each item is restored and brought back to life. I am sure many of you would enjoy seeing it.

Many of the skills shown are what you folks are all about here ......thanks for sharing your little project. Gives inspiration to others to give it a go and is very satisfying when these old pieces of our cars can be brought back to life.

The diode doesn't affect the clocks operation, it just keeps the points from arcing 

What am I not understanding with your post?  Without the arc of the spark, how does the balance wheel on your clock with the diode, reset itself?
