postheadericon Repairing a vintage electromechanical metronome

DSCN5547.jpg
This is an interesting look at the inner workings of a vintage electromechanical metronome. Even if you couldn't get it to work, or didn't want to, it would make a great enclosure for your next electronics project. I suspect the warranty is officially voided!

Passing behind a church-operated thrift store a month or two ago, I saw a black bakelite box in the area where they discard stuff they don't want, about to get rained on. After seeing that it was a metronome, I rescued it and made it mine. This weekend I tried it out for the first time and ended up repairing the motor. The motor's workings were unfamiliar to me, but its repair was self-evident.
