70 510 wagon clock

[Stitebunny]

I have a clock I wanted to install in my wagon. Found the wiring connector and the lights work but the clock doesn't seem to.

Found one or two posts and it seems most clocks are in non working condition.

Has anyone successfully repaired one themselves or know what it might take?

 

Thanks

It would very much depend on whether you have a "modern" quartz watch movement or the more "primitive" clutch driven mechanical watch movement that periodically runs down and needs the battery to "goose" it into a full mechanical mainspring rewind.  Go to your local watch repair shop if there are any left and have a talk to the horologist [i'm not making that up.  He or she will have technical training and be certified to do repair/restoration on any reasonable clockwork.]  My local Horologist is willing to restore my original Bulova Accutron but cannot find an unmolested "sun gear" that is worn out

Round or square clock?

Thanks. I am hoping to find a repair shop to ask them about it. I don't know what kind of mechanism it runs on...

 

It is a round clock. Looks just like this one;
