Clock Mechanism Replacement Battery Operated Movement Quartz Silent DIY Wall Clock Repair Parts Replacement Shaft Lengths 13.5mm (17/32 inch) - 1 Pc

I had my older outdoor clock fail so I took the measurements of the older clock and found this online. Perfect fit and took 10 minutes to replace! Great buy!

Great

Works as described.

This was inexpensive---and I guess I found out why. I should have bought one of the offerings that came with hands, but the hands on my clock were perfectly fine. I needed a new mechanism because the metal contact for the negative end of the AA battery had disintegratedThese mechanisms all look about the same in their configuration, and there was no mention on the product page about the diameters of the two-stage shaft (hour hand and minute hand attachments) but only the length of the shaft, so there was no reason to think the old hands would not fit.But they did not fit---the shaft segments were slightly too large in both cases. I of course could not have known this until the clock---a solid, good quality, and very attractive brass clock---was disassembled (this required great care so as not to damage anything) so I could preliminarily attach the hands before reassembling the clock with the new movement.Now what to do? I decided to use a very small file to very, very carefully reduce the diameter of both shaft segments just enough to secure a good friction fit for the two hands. I proceeded slowly in an effort to take off just enough material for the purpose, constantly checking with the two hands. I did just fine with the minute hand section but took slightly too much off the hour hand portion.Now the only thing I could do was to use a couple of tiny drops of epoxy glue to hold the hour hand to the shaft section. After allowing the glue to cure for 24 hours, the hour hand was secure to its shaft section, allowing me to affix the minute hand and put the clock back together. It now runs fine---so far.The one-star rating is for this outfit's inexcusable failure to mention that their shaft section diameters are non-standard, causing me about three hours of painstaking effort that should not have been necessary. Should I ever have to replace the mechanism again, I'll get one of those that come with hands. I certainly will not be able to remove and reuse that hour hand again, not after having been epoxy glued in place.

The clock worked perfectly on my old Craftsman garage clock when I finally was able to install it. The new clock had more squared off corners and the Craftsman clock's compartment on the back had rounded corners requiring me to grind out the corners with a Dremel in order to get the new clock to fit in the space. There was nothing in the description that cautioned be about that dimension.

We have this old clock on our patio wall that my wife bought at an Estate Sale. It's fairly big with a glass face which would probably place it somewhere from the 1970's - 80's. Recently it quit working (new battery did not fix), and my wife begged me to get it repaired. I found this quartz mechanism which was reasonably priced, and it was "bare bones". (I did not need clock hands or a hanger since I intended to keep the clock original). The unit arrived promptly, and it was an exact fit for the old clock! I was mentally ready to have problems with the clock hands, but they also fit perfectly! And what what's really great is that this quartz movement keeps absolutely excellent time! I would definitely recommend.

The movement itself is great. Quiet, and the hands fit well. The only problem was the hands were bent due to improper seller packaging and improper shipping packaging. It should be in a box but was packaged for both in a bag. So, hands are on but they don't look nice.

I've replaced 2 different clocks parts so far and I'd highly recommend you first take apart your broken clock, measure the threads and plastic stem and see how everything is connecting and try to buy a replacement that has similar if not the same measurements because although the box of the mechanism is the same, the stem is what differs and the length of the thread part vs the plastic part are different and my 2 clocks even had the end attach differently, this one had a little black cap that snapped onto the end in the tiny hole and the other had a part that screwed onto the threads at the end. I was not able to find parts that had the exact measurements for either clock but both were close enough. I measured the original part for this clock to have a 7mm thread part and a 13mm length to the end versus the 5.5mm and 13.5mm of this replacement part, but it fits in my case. Good luck!
