Axial motor help (Flux motor)

[bluharley]

New guy here. Background, I know essentially nothing about electronics. I acquired a clock that uses what they call a flux motor. My google sense tells me it's an axial motor, 1.5 volts. I got it running, but it runs way fast. I bought two of these from an estate sale. My guess is some old guy like me was trying to make them work. There is a resistor, the one in there is 500ohm. My question is if I increase the resistance, will it slow the motor down? Everything in the movement looks correct, so all I can think of is the motor is running fast. Thanks.

Hey Martin, have you been following my thread on NAWCC?

Not following but did see it there.
I quite liked your comment about the flux capacitor.
You may find help with your clock movement from bhi dot co dot uk.
I know several clock repair shops that frequently call bhi for advice. It could be worth a call.

Thanks, it seems I have the only two Flux Motor Clocks in existence.
