I have the Type 1 VDO Kienzle clock that I let sit in my unused car for a few years. As the battery drained down, it lost the power to open the contacts. The low-temp solder fuse melted as designed, but not enough to completely open the circuit. You can see this in the attached photo. Also, you can see that the electro-magnet coil overheated from the closed circuit, and the insulation melted, allowing a short circuit on the coil. So I need to remove and replace this wire with new electro-magnet coil wire. Does anyone know the gauge of this wire, and the number of revolutions?
