I have tried winding the gears back to starting position but now whenever I try to predict the solstice it is incorrect, causing great embarrassment at the local sect. I bought this because those young men in white robes drawing mystic figures in the sand convinced me it would help me with my predictions, and that it was a lot easier than traditional augury or lining up rocks like the celts do. I call bullshit, what the hell is the problem with traditional birds entrails telling you these things? I spent a goat on this and it isn’t working, and I released all the birds because I thought I wouldn’t need them anymore and now I am freaking out, if I don’t get this right Zeus know what the initiae will do to me.
Anyways, any of you have experience with this issue?
Based on what you bring to my table? Inferrior materials, shoddy workmanship on the cogs and gears, possibly an attempt at simplifying the mechanism causing it to miscount on a periodic basis.
I can clean the grime off and possibly replicate the gearwork to replace what’s there, but honestly you’re better off getting a new one and that’s kinda beyond me.
