I just got my clock back from Clock MED. They are in Tennesee. I did a buy me now from E-Bay for $35 and sent them my clock. Bob reworks the original movement, for an additional $10 polsished the lense, and re-detailed the hands for free. All this in 3 days.

You can drop him a line at [email protected]

Lil64, did he put the quartz in the clock? Or just redid the original parts?
I have a clock to be redone also. I have heard that the time will run fast / slow on the original movements. The quartz are supposed to run more accurate. I saw his bid too, but it didn't say anything about quartz.

rugratman,

It is the original movement, not quartz. They say that you can see the difference in the original movement and one that has a quartz movement.

I do not have a 100 point car, never will, but I am trying to keep it as original as possible.

Jim
