Mark Frank | Astro-skeleton, Orrery center gearbox disassembly @MarkFrankclocks | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated May 12 2024
In this video the orrery is disassembled, the main thrust is the center planets gearbox that controls Mercury, Venus, the Earth/Moon system and Mars. Jupiter is also included, Saturn's outer arm is not seen but easily removed as the first step.
Buchanan has provided a series of videos that show in detail how the various components and main trains are disassembled. While I hope to never need these, they will be saved for the future when such extensive and invasive service may be needed. The finished orrery can be found at: http://www.my-time-machines.net/astro_12-20.htm .
