⏰ Youngtown 12888 Pendulum Type Movement: Quartz DIY Kits for Step Clock, 1/2 Inch Dial Thickness & 9/10 Inch Shaft Length Review

When my wife was painting the wall, our Allen Designs Frog Fly Pendulum Clock (available on Amazon) stopped working. I teased my wife that I was throwing the Frog Clock away but instead looked for a quartz movement at Revain by part number. The guide is very helpful. The rubber washer was not needed and I used the darts that came with the frog watch which I carefully removed. I hope it lasts at least five years, but $10.99 for a movement replacement is a lot better than $64 for a new frog watch

I bought this movement to replace an old one in a watch I bought a few years ago. He worked for about 16 hours and the arrows stopped, although the pendulum continued to swing. As I think it is new and probably needs a little break in period I would set the clock to 12 o'clock, remove the battery and start over. Another day later I found it had stopped again so I requested a refund and they sent me another one. It worked fine at first, but ran about 6 minutes slower for a week until it finally…

I consider it sacrilegious to electrify a beautiful fully functional vintage watch. It's like putting an electric motor in a vintage Harley. It's just not right. But in cases where a watch cannot be wound regularly or others can damage it by trying to wind and set it (e.g. a holiday home), an electric movement like this can actually preserve the fragile original movement. I tried the basic electrical mechanism and just swinging the pendulum but the sight of a fixed pendulum but accurate time…

Bought to fix an old "Regulator" clock that hadn't worked for several years. Replacing the movement took only a few minutes, although I spent more time cleaning a watch that had sat on a shelf for years. Now it works fine. This is a type of "Regulator" clock that has a round top with wood around the dial and a rectangular bottom that extends underneath and has a window to view the pendulum. The pendulum struck one of the sides of the case just enough to cause a faint smack with its nose. I…

[edit] I'm increasing my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars because the clock has been running for several weeks since the last battery change and it's still showing the correct time. Time. [Original Review] This is an exact replacement part for the haunted house grandfather clock sold by Disney, right down to the patent number in the battery compartment. When the mechanism in my watch broke, I ordered this one. Really easy exchange. The item itself is not the most durable so could have been…
