Hi

I bought one of these from Aircraft Spruce USA a year ago.

It stopped running; the battery seems to have gone flat, so I changed
it.

It now works, but the stopwatch RESET function takes the hands back to
a weird position, not the 12:00 position which is what should happen.

Aircraft Spruce have stopped selling this clock and have not helped.
They can't even supply a manufacturer's part number (???) saying that
they bought it on description alone...

E/Benz in USA and Switzerland do not reply to emails or faxes at all -
obviously deliberate.

Does anyone know the procedure for setting it up, following a battery
change?

It cost USD 350 so I don't want to chuck it in the bin, and the
aircraft is illegal for IFR without a clock...

Incidentally this appears to be a $10 cheap clock mechanism, inside a
fancy housing. Just like the previous clock I had, an LC-2 whose
internals were about $2 and which cost $200. There is so much junk
around in this business.

Peter.

Since this is a clock with an ETA movement, I would try to do it similarly
to my Swatch chrono: Pull the adjustment knob for the clock, then press the
buttons to change the position of the topwatch hands.

No idea whether that works on the Benz, though.
