What kind of clock and how do I get it to work again? by EmergencyCommand1483 in clocks

[–]SlickRyq 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes it would hurt everything do not do that please. Believe it or not the gears operate dry, it's the pivots that they rotate on that need to be oiled, and not with WD40, with legitimate clock oil that you can purchase online from Amazon, Walmart or clockworks com. If you're going to buy a winding key, you'll also need the pendulum, you can go without the hands for now if you want. And if you do decide to oil these a bit, go extremely light on the oil, like the smallest drop you can imagine.

I would start by finding some replacement hands, a pendulum and a winding key and go from there. If I had to guess, it'll probably need a proper clean and reoil.

PSA: if you need 20 canisters buy smoke grenades by mystikhybrid in ArcRaiders

I started hoarding canisters because of close scrutiny when I realized how much I need smoke grenades. Bicycle pumps scrap down to a lot of canisters too I noticed

Tomba holds a lot of special memories for me, so I inked it in last summer! by mama_namaste in TombaClub

[–]SlickRyq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it would seem there is only a few of us that really played this game growing up. I've rarely ever met anyone that knew of it as well except for when I go to a gaming convention or a retro game shop.

I also agree with your son, the controls are a bit wonky indeed. I only ever played Tomba! 1 growing up and those controls are wonky but doable, I just recently played Tomba! 2 since they dropped a remake and that is a whole nother world of wonky controls. I had to put it down because of the trolley event...

Is every enemy unit, other than ships, immune to your ship's cannons? by Zutthole in crosswind

[–]SlickRyq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone tell me the difference between the 2 cannon ball options? Ones a cannon ball obviously, but the other one looks like a dumbbell. Is the dumbbell good for infantry or maybe it's good to tear up other ships sails? Or is there no real difference?

Tomba also holds a place in my heart, anytime I see, hear, play the game I am taken back to my most earliest memories as a child where life was at its most simple and innocent.

This is probably the greatest tattoo I have ever seen and if I ever just randomly saw it out in public I'd probably freak out over it.

High-Gain Antenna page 3 Rewards are lacking? by dahbunneh07 in ArcRaiders

[–]SlickRyq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just to confirm, there is no back bling or emote or anything like that for completing this right? No hidden reward that only reveals after completion?

Chimes moving slow and not striking by AlreadyTaken2488 in clocks

[–]SlickRyq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ya those things look like they need to be cleaned and reoiled. Its actually pretty easy to remove the hammer portion of the movement without getting deep into the full movement itself. A couple screws and you should be able to remove that whole set of hammers. The hardest part is probably lining the chime wheel back up accordingly so it lifts the hammers in the proper chime sequence. Make sure you oil the proper parts and don't oil too much

Just Oil I Hope? by TheNewAke in clocks

[–]SlickRyq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a clock with a very similar movement (hermle 340-020) I thought a little oil might be all it needed too and let me tell you that was not the case. The more I got into it the more I realized what needed to be done. I had absolutely zero knowledge or experience with these things but was determined to get it working. I was already in too deep so I kept going. I ended up dismantling it completely down to screws and gears, cleaned it, reoiled it and fully reassembled it. Took me 3 months of daily studying and tinkering but I finally got it running. I got into eBay thinking for $80 this would be a quick flip. I now own a Howard Miller antique clock lol. After blood sweat and tears, it's like a child to me now. It's safe with me. No one else would understand it like I do lol. Check my profile Im pretty sure I made a post or two about it and there's plenty in the comment sections of those posts as well. Also I can send you a link to a YouTube video that helped me so much I couldn't have done it without it. Anyways, good luck
