Hello,
Even opening it was a challenge and a long struggle as some of the screws started to strip by just touching them.
Just as I thought, corroded inside. All springs are rusted. Solder joints look corroded and about to break. Even if I could un-jam this thing, it will never work reliably without replacing most parts.
The top put up a big fight. The front screw had to be submitted to obedience with locking pliers as it was stripped.
Unfortunately it is long gone.
I will try to get it to look halfway decent and use it as decoration, or clock or something.
Or I can paint it gold and sell it for half a million dollars as an eccentric art piece
Thanks,
