Vintage Pam Clock Restorer

[MosportGreen66]

Hi Gents,

I have a great vintage Hurst clock made by Pam Clock Co. New Rochelle, NY. Does anyone have a contact for restoration/refurbishment? The mechanism seems to have stopped working.

Thanks,
Dan

Dan,
Are you talking about one of these?


They must be pretty simple. You might be able to fix it yourself. Is the motor running?

Hi Verne, yes... basically the same.

Now I feel foolish. I plugged in the clock for the first time in nearly a year and it works? Could have been the outlet I used ages ago?

Disregard.

Thank you,
Dan

Dan,
Those clocks have primitive motors. Sometimes when you plug them in they won't run, sometimes they'll run backwards! Just keep plugging!

I have the same problem with a 1960's Quaker State clock.....most of the time it works well.....and sometimes it just stops till you unplug and re-plug.
