clock repair

My frend has a 56 chevy, and needs the clock fixed. Aneyone know who can help him.

 

alot of guys convert their clocks to quartz. unfortunally I don't know anybody who does it locally

 

Try www.williamsons.com. They converted two clocks to quartz movements and they work great. Less expensive than a lot of people I talked with about a conversion. They can just repair it also.

 

pm VintageIgnition here on the hamb, i'm going to send my clock in soon. always look in the HAMB-O-DEX first.........support a hamber

 

I hang out here enough and dont contribute as much as I should. So how about this.

Have your friend send me his clock and I will fix it for free just to help out a HAMBer. Sound good?

Send me and email or PM

 

i have a uncle that repairs clocks and he tells me that the problem is usually dirt. a good cleaning is 95% of his repair procedure. he is a fan of quartz conversions because of the increased accuracy. most automotive clocks are "self winding" meaning they wind themselves from the vibration of driving. part of the reason other than dirt that most don't keep good time because they sit motionless a good part of the time. he is in north carolina if your interested.

 

We think it's dirt.

 

google "clock repair and cleaning" and see what comes up

 

I'll be happy to help. Check out my web page www.instrument-specialties.com

Thanks
Mike

 

There's a BUNCH in Hemmings. Flip through a copy at the grocery store and snap a few pics of the ads in your camera phone so you can call 'em later.
