The knobs for winding the clocks screw off in the opposite direction from winding. If that doesn't work, let me know and I will see about getting a picture of your clock and trying to figure it out.

My chess clock is obviously intended to come out the front when the knobs on the back and four screws are removed, but I can't get the knobs which turn the hands to come off. Do they unscrew? Pull off? Thanks! How did you get the clocks apart?

Most of the problems I have found with the clocks have been obvious things. When I take it apart I see that a piece is bent the wrong way, or something has turned and causes the clock to stop, or not stop correctly. I can guess that maybe the arm that is supposed to stop the clock is not swinging out of the way when the button is pushed. This can be caused by the button on top slipping out of alignment with the arm inside the clock. Or the little metal piece of spring steel that stops the clock is bent.
