I have one of these but its very erratic for the movement to turn, Fork does vibrate and the drive transistor is saturating, I also gave the mech a good clean.
This is the cheaper plastic gear mech..
I have a feeling that it gets demagnetized with use, as the tuning fork has magnetic ends riveted to it..
Any clues..
