So I made it through all of Bamz-Amschend to the weather machine. I clicked on the spot were the choerer should go, but nothing happened. The choerer is not in my inventory! And when I go back to Almalexia and try to talk to her nothing happens! I'm assuming it's a glitch and I have to start from a (very old) save... unless someone has a suggestion. Thanks.

It's been a long time since I've been there, but if I remember correctly, you need to activate it to get the correct weather before heading back. I vaguely remember several levers before the big picture.

if this is on pc you can add the coheror to your inventory with the console. If not you pretty much have to reload.


Go into third person click on your hero and type
additem "misc_dwrv_weather" 1

She gives you a Powered Dwemer Coherer which I haven't seen anywhere else so far (and try not to look everything up from UESPWiki). Either you have accidentally sold/dropped it or then it just didn't show in your inventory in the first place. Yes, you can always search the console command for it (I think the poster above me gave it already) and make it appear in your inventory that way, thinking, 'I should've had it all along'.
