Review on πŸ”„ Youngtown 12888 Step Quartz Movement Repair Part: Hour Trigger Switch, Ideal for 7/64 Inch Maximum Dial Thickness, 17/32 Inch Total Shaft Length by Bob Vulpes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Worked great for several months

I bought this to replace the movement of a really cool Elvis Presley clock that plays the beginning of "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Hound Dog" alternately. I installed it on January 21, 2021 and it worked flawlessly until mid-April 2021. Now the clock will randomly stop for a while (usually around 35 minutes) and then continue. Pressing it a little sooner will also force it to start again. I replaced the battery but it still doesn't work. I haven't noticed any other reviews complaining about this issue, so I'm guessing mine is just bad. I'm well outside the return window so I guess I'm just unlucky.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Frequency
