Clock: quartz conversion options?
After learning ClockWorks is not doing quartz conversions due to issues with suppliers, I'm trying to come up with another option.
My 63 clock has a burned coil, so it's not an easy repair. But I do prefer to fix whatever I can myself when possible. Call it a character defect.
Any suggestions for another (creative)option?

Quartx movements have gone way up on price. You can find them on ebay for $100+. See if you can snag one of those and see if ClockWorks would let you supply the unit. There are several other places that do these conversions. Rogers, D&M and Corvette Specialties in CA are three that come to mind. It may take a little research and a few phone calls, but you should be able to come up with one of these guys that have what you need. Good Luck!

This is who I purchased my conversion kit for my 64 from. They have an easy to follow video and when I called them they were very helpful.
