Default 1980 Clock

Hi

My clock’s second hand moves but the minute and hour hands don’t. Can this be repaired or is a replacement in my future?

Thanks

You can remove the clock, Get some alcohol or brake clean start cleaning the contacts and gears. clean the winding mechanism. Use clock oil to lube it,,,, just a tiny bit. They are normally just dirty.

Take the clock out and send it to " The Clock Works" for repair.
I had mine out a couple of times, got it to work on the bench, but not so once reinstalled, finally sent it out, still working great a year later.
I did mine in the fall once the car was away for the winter, so I only had to take the dash apart once.

Clock Works is an excellent vendor, with fair prices,

Thanks! I have other “winter projects” that I can do at the same time as the clock.
