Title: Bedroom Clock
Post by: jhardman on April 20, 2018, 04:59:16 pm
I'm sure this may seem silly to some, but I'd like to restore the bedroom clock mounted above the head of the bed.  Do any of you know who I might be able to ship it to to have it reworked.

Not silly at all. Do you have a pic? Is it like this?

I don't have a pic, but I can get one. It's similar to the Craneman posted.

No idea about that digital clock, but to fix a Foretravel wall analog clock:

For probably around $10 buy a Walmart battery operated clock, pull off hands, remove center nut, pull out clock mechanism from rear, put it into Foretravel clock and reverse to install.  Some Walmart clocks have second hand and some don't.

We find ceiling projection clocks like $20 Ambient Weather RC-8427 that display time and temp at the same time a much better value than putting big bucks into trying to fix a broken clock that may not continue to be trouble free.
