1955 Thunderbird Clock Repair

[Ward 57]

Gary,

If I decide to send the clock out for repairs, http://www.clockwks.com/Tbirdx.html offers a mechanical restoration for $79.95 and a 6 volt quartz conversion for $219.95.

Sometimes clock repair is simply a matter of opening, cleaning, and lubricating. That is not usually the case, but it does happen. Since I do not have a Motochron repair manual, it will take some investigation to gain the knowledge needed to perform the repair, that's why I'm asking questions before I attempt to repair the clock. I'm sure that the process is not very different from most other automobile electric repairs that I have done in the past. And when it is done, I can enjoy the satisfaction of having personally restored a system to function as originally designed.

Did you send it to clock works and if you did were you happy with the result? I think mine is beyond repair and am considering a quartz conversion.

Quality is king. It seems they know what they are doing. In contact with them.

I had two clocks (54 Ford & 56 Bird) converted to quartz by Williamson's in Arkansas. Great job - both clocks work perfectly, the first one was done 15 years ago. And they were less costly than others I checked with.

Use clock works in Eagle River WI. SC outfit are pathetic. Seems they don’t do quartz conversions any more….just rebuilds. Mine is working great. Car stereo company had mine out in 10 mins. Some talk about removing seat etc. Not necessary. Good luck.
