Default Timer

Well...I used the timer like 400 years ago, yes 400...LOL

Anyway, what I remember and I have tried it recently as well is:

The "big" wheel is the minute wheel and requires a round "washer" under it that sorta buffers the vibration. They have white felt one's that come w/the felt footballs. They also have, I think through Miggle, brown washers which I believe are foam and also come with the footballs...I painted the numbers on this dial so I had a chance of actual reading it.

If you look at the smaller "second" hand it has a 3 prongs like a base and can be tweaked to:

A.) Move in the correct direction to move the minute hand.

B.) Adjust the speed at which it moves such that it increments one minute every 60 rotations.

I guess it goes with out saying it only keeps time when the board is vibrating.

I think that's the idea behind it, however, I defer to the more experienced folks. I was just hoping I could actual, maybe, perhaps help someone out...

Y'all feel free to add, comment, correct...

Regards,

Joe
