I just did. Using a 3mm square rare-earth magnet stuck to the clock-stand set very close to the teeth, a drill in the 3-jaw and a gear on the drill. It worked well. A larger magnet would work better, but I think the magnet has to be of the order of a tooth-pitch. http://cgi.ebay.com/64-MAGNETS-4x4x4-1-4-neodymium-cubes-N42-STRONG-/250701995449 Looks good, if you are in the US (oddly there seem to be lots more on ebay.co.uk) > > I always assumed that detents were a spring loaded ball into a > depression in the wheel.
