756puller Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Found this non working sealed power clock in junk that the dealer I work at is throwing away. Is there any value to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I'd hang it in my shop! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldenny Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 There are places to get new workings. A friend of mine builds clocks on occasion. He buys from catalogs but a hobby shop may even have them. I'd install the original hands on a new mechanism if it were mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledgehammer Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I did an old clock once with a new quartz mechanism purchased on fleabay. Picked hand length, style and everything for $10-$15. Turned a junk clock into a new vintage working antique. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt_Floor_Poor Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I don’t know if it’s valuable, but I sure wouldn’t throw it away. There’s a clock shop in my hometown still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Englander Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I just replaced the motor in my shop clock for the second time in almost 30 years. Got the number off the motor and found from dealer first time, NOS on Ebay the second time. It's had several new florescent tubes over the years so I changed that while I was at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotsaIHCs Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I'm sure it's worth something to someone. It would make a really cool wall hanger or fixer. It's a keeper to me! I have a small Pabst Blue Ribbon beer clock that's right twice a day too hanging in my shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
