[Hammarlund] HQ 180 AC telechron clock movement needed

[Lee Bahr]

John,

If all else fails you can find a very similar looking Chinese quartz 
clock movement that runs off an AA cell on Amazon.com.  The hands are 
plastic but they are very similar in appearance and width to your 
original.  Once installed it would take scrutiny to observe the clock 
was not original.  The final appearance is very pleasing when you 
consider how close to original it looks for using a modern movement.  It 
mounts with a nut over the main clock shaft.  Then you push on the 
hands.  As I recall you should cut the minute hand a little shorter in 
length then as supplied.

Lee, w0vt

The remainder of the receiver appears OK and cleaned up fine. There was no salt or brackish water at the location so no corrosion worry at present.
