This is still helping people years later. Thanks very much. It made it so easy.

Thanks Wayne for your easy to follow tutorial. It helped me to repair one of my favourite clocks after I bought a new mechanism.

Thank you very much. I have a beautiful quartz wall clock that I have had for 10 years and it stopped working 9 years ago. I am going to try replacing the movement box and see if I can get it going again. Your instruction video was very helpful, I did not know there was different sizes in the length of the pin that sticks through. Now I know what size to order. Thank you again! 😀

Could not have fixed my clock without this video. Thank you very very much!

Excellent instructions. It helped me a lot to take the mystery out of some simple screws and bolts. Thank you.

Exactly the directions I needed to get my clock up and running with a new motor. Thanks!

Thank you Mr. Rasku, you helped me put my clock back together! Now my sister & I can make a clock out of ANYTHING!!!😃🕐⏰🕰🙄

Superb directions told in a calm and enjoyable manner! Very much looking forward to resurrecting my clock. ;-)

Thanks Wayne. I thought I remembered how to replace this but thanks to your clear video, I did mine in a couple minutes. Gracias!

Thank you very much for this video. I thought I was going to have to replace my favorite clock. Now I just have to replace the motor.

Thank you SO much for posting this video! After waiting far to long to order parts, I finally did so but did not know how to install the hands properly!! Our beautiful clock is running perfectly now!

Thanks! A battery exploded and the acid broke the last one. This helped so much to fix the clock!

Fantastic and succinct instructional video. Looking forward to fixing my wall clock.

" Hands of times" in Savage Mills, MD asked me for $45 + tax to replace this mecanism on each of my clocks. Thanks!

Thank you for your video. You gave clear and simple instructions. ☺

Thank you. i was able to change the motor out by watching this

Great video.I may suggest that add to your video, the proper way to measure the shaft of the replacement motor.

I just fixed my clock thanks to this video 👍

Excellent explanation. Thank you very much

thanks i will replace mine now instead of buying another clock. good job! thanks for the share.

Very Good, Thank You, those pliers have seen a Job or Two,but they probably don't make them as well anymore. Good Tip on the stem length.

Thanks for sharing!

Awesome tutorial....thanks!

Thank you so much!!!! Hoping my clock lasts another decade

thank you for show to replace the clock mechanism.thank you so much!!!😃🤵🤵🤵🤵🤵🤵🤵👨🧑

Thank you ❤️

Thank you so much!

Great sharing! Just replaced from a working clock to another one, with a better looking background, that wasn't working! Thumbs up! 👏👍

my clock that I love refuses to work wit a new battery thank-you for this information now I will try to fix it!

You may not need a new mechanism. I just fixed 3 of this type of clock this week. IN EVERY CASE the problem was the pressure contacts between the battery connectors & the electronics board inside the movement. My clue to this was that fiddling with the battery contacts could make the clock run for a short time, but then it would stop again. First check the contacts to the battery itself. If the battery has leaked, you may need to use a little water on a cotton swab to dissolve the resultant deposit. GENTLY polish with some metal polish if needed, If they are badly corroded you may need a new mechanism, OR you can buy a separate 1-cell battery case & solder its leads directly to the electronics board of the disassembled mechanism, if that is all that is wrong; if you are capable of this level of fine soldering, you probably don't need any more instructions! Carefully remove the hands, remove the mechanism from the clock face (usually a nut on the face side, but may also be glued), & disassemble the mechanism - you need to be a somewhat good at dealing with small parts, & note carefully the location of all the gears - take photos as you go & use a magnifier to see what you are doing. There are a few videos around to show you how to do all this. Once you have the electronics board free, gently scrape the contacts (2 spring type from the battery, 2 flat on the PCB) with a plastic blade to remove the small amount of corrosion that has formed around them: the contacts should now look evenly bright). Re-assemble just the electronics board & battery connectors into the mechanism housing, place the motor armature in position (the gear & attached magnet that sit by the solenoid coil), and insert the battery. If the armature now "ticks" (& it did not before you cleaned the contacts), you likely have fixed the problem. Carefully re-assemble the mechanism, re-attach it to the face, & re-attach the hands, making sure that the hands will not foul on themselves or anything else as they rotate. Use a gentle blower on the mech to make sure that you have not introduced any dirt. If cleaning the contacts does not work (too corroded), then you can bodge the connections by soldering a ~30 gauge copper magnet wire to each contact on the PCB & wire-wrap the other end around their respective battery connectors. The connector bars on these clocks don't seem amenable to soldering, so tight wire-wrapping (so that the edge of the connector bar cuts slightly into the bared wire) is the only option, unless you are good at micro-riveting! Again, if you are that good at soldering you probably don't need more help! About 15 minutes work & no parts cost, & you keep the original hands & sound of your clock! Good luck!

Thanks Wayne for the easy instructions. When shopping for the movement some say don't use alkaline batteries. Why is that?

Thank you!!

Thank you for that....great!

Thank you!!!!!

Thank you ! I was thinking I must buy a new clock…. Now I’m thinking…buy a new mechanism!

How do you know the right size clockworks? Measure the one you already have? Do you need to buy new hands or keep the ones you already have?

what the rule of thumb on sizing up what shaft to use???

My new movement doesn't have the 'oblong' piece to put the minute hand on. Can I get this separately?

what about 1) if your clock has a plastic or glass covering over the hands? how to remove it? 2)what about replacing clock movements with second hands?

I did everything up to minute 1:13.. the clockwork is still not moving.. solid as a rock.. any idea what I am missing?

Where do i get the top screw from if i making my own clock hands?

How do you remove the back off of a 1.5 diameter clock.

I can see why you have a repair video for this clock, given it's Amazon rating is 2.5 Stars, and only because the first 3 were 5-Star and very likely free giveaways. When real customers provided their opinion in came in a 1-Star.

No use unless you know the length of shaft which you need. What is the measurement?

When I removed the hands, the nut and the washer, the movement still did not detach. What to do?

On mine, which looks identical to the one in the video, the first nut to be removed ( at :20 of video) does not unscrew. I have twirled it over a hundred times or more, and it does not remove. I can continue no further. Any ideas?

Hey Roger, I'm sorry your clock mechanism isn't coming apart. I don't have any suggestions without seeing it. All the clocks I deal with are about the same - they dismantle as shown in the video.

I was very careful when trying to dismantle, which is why it was so frustrating to get stuck on the very first phase. Well, I sort of gave up and just pulled the nut out (with some minor force). Seems to have worked, and I have replaced the mechanism, which (so far) appears to be working. Thanks.

I had the same problem...turned out it was stuck on with glue tapes...had to break it off!

Mine has wires

I can't take off the screw off it spins and spins but doesn't want to come off so I may replace it with a new one

No

Doesn’t help
