Hello,

My mains synchronous clock (made in woodwork class half a century ago) has stopped working. I think the motor coil has gone open circuit.

There is only one place that sells the motor, but unfortunately they are trade only!

See

Note: this has to fit a panel 11 mm thick, there are other ones I can get for a 5 mm panel: however, the construction of the clock makes these unusable.

Perhaps I could have the coil rewound? But there may be other problems with the motor, is it worth the risk?

Or could I find a friendly clock repairer who could order for me?

Michael
