Chet, is the front and back of the same clock?? If so, that looks like an easy fix.? Where did you buy the movement?? Lee

Lee,

The front and back are the same clock.? Keep in mind that once you do this you can't restore the clock back to original.? You have to drill the face to accept the movement.? Also the back housing needs to be removed and cut flat to the frame.

This is why I used a spare clock rather then my original.

I will post the part numbers and company but you can pick up these movements in hobby stores.? The face needs to be drilled with a slightly undersize drill for the movement so that the clock movement can be screwed into place.? If not you will have to glue it since there isn't enough room between the face glass and the clock face to facilitate a lock nut.

I have two P15 clocks and may probable get one working original setup out of the two.? In the mean time I took the worst of the two and upgraded it to a 1.5 vdc Quartz Movement.? I will bolt this one in my car and save the original clock project for another day.., way off in the future.

Total Cost $11.95?
