Dear Frank
Obviously the clock is a senitive instrument.
Bad contacts or arcing in the same circuit can cause weird behaviour of the
clock.
Clocks often work by means of regular impulses - arcing is a bit like that,
but very irregular.
Paul's right I think.
Try to trace all of the contacts in this particular colored circuit up to
the fusebox.
The fusebox itself (rivet) can also be the cause - been there.
Cheers,
Hans
