First problem: not enough clearance for the electrical tabs and connectors.

Second problem: when I tried to bend the steel tabs, they broke off. So I soldered on some new tabs.

Third problem: even with flag connectors, there was not enough clearance on the end inside.

Fourth problem: when I tried to bend the soldered tabs, one broke off.

Final(?) solution: I replaced the tabs with short leads.

Connections made up, joining the extension wires with the original leads that used to go up to the center of the back panel.

And...it works. I need to check how the light functions in the dark, and I plan to replace the stock bulb with LED.

Clock follow-up: when I connected the battery today, at first the clock did not run. Later it started ticking. So, I have a part-time clock?


The Keinzel Clocks run for about 2 minutes, then as the spring unwinds it causes contact with the rewind circuit. This rewinds the mainspring for another 2 minutes of run time. I guess this was done to save battery life during times of unuse, but still keeping the clock's time correct. When they work correctly these clocks seem to last a long time.

I took the light out one more time to adjust the fit, and decided to see what it would look like polished. First some 600 grit.

A first test fit of the custom rear bulkhead cover, sourced from rennspd on eBay. Looks pretty good.
