Default Re: IBM Factory Clock

Right enough David, I'm now putting out feelers for a 2nd hand original suitable master clock. I know that I've praised Drew Pritchard's Restorers in the past(compared to one or two numpties on "the Repair Shop"), but I've never approved of their " always fit a quartz mechanism" procedure for factory clocks.
Have now gently removed the hour hand & completely removed the mechanism from the dial. Have completed a prolonged 24V on/off pulse procedure for several minutes, & everything is working fine. Shall now return to the bakelite case & get it nicely polished up.

Regards, David
