How to install a quartz movement In this demonstration we converted a lovely grandmother clock from an electric clock into a battery operated one. The original movement had parts missing and could not be repaired. |
|
This clock is from about 1940. It is a General Electric Revere. The westminster chiming movement had parts missing and could not be repaired. It sat in my house for two years until I finally decided to make it a working clock again. Since I don’t need another chiming clock in my house and there is not glass for a visable pendulum I used a time only mini quartz movement. |
|
I chose a short shaft movement because the dial is very thin. I selected serpentine gold hands long enough so that the tip of the minute hand goes nearly to the outside of the numerals on the dial. |
|
To start, put the black rubber washer on the movement shaft as shown. Then put the movement shaft through the dial hole. |
|
Place the brass washer over the handshaft, screw the threaded nut over the large threaded part of the the shaft. |
|
Press the hour hand onto the white part of the handshaft. Place the minute hand onto the oval tip of the handshaft. Screw on the small knurled nut to hold on the minute hand. Tighten this nut so that it will not fall off in the future. You can use a pair of pliers for this. |

Shown at the left are mini quartz movement, hands and hardware. Price for this complete set up is $3.50 plus shipping. The metal hanger at bottom left is free but you must request it when ordering. We did not need the hanger for this project. Next to the hanger from top to bottom are the knurled nut for the minute hand, hex nut to hold movement in place, flat washer and the black rubber washer. |
|
In less than five minutes-and for less than $5.00-I turned this clock case into a working timepiece once again. |
|
Shown at left is the movement with flat washer under the threaded nut. The threaded nut should be just tight enough so that the movement will not move. If you over tighten this nut the movement will not run. The only thing left to do is put on the hands. |
