I need a clock unit for my AWA 563 mantle radio it has the 4 pin plug to connect to the chassis. If you can help in any way please email me, my email in open.

TIA

Good luck with that search. I think probably 99% of radios with clocks have non-operational clocks. Maybe someone fixes them?

I managed to repair one. The clock coil was open circuit. I unwound about 20 turns and found the break.
I got lucky.

If only it was that simple, someone has been into mine and bent various bits.

The monkey strikes again.

I find the majority of electric clocks in valve radios to have frozen up and died.

I suppose that a specialist in this area would be able to repair them, but I've yet to meet such a person.

Many have already been attacked by others and needless to say, the clock still doesn't work.

Even if you get the mechanics fixed, then you find the radioactive "glow-in-the-dark" hands no longer glow - but they still emit radiation poison.

From memory, one clock radio in my collection still works out of many.

Interesting a clock frozen in time. If there is a photo back & front I think I may have one in the shearing shed, stuffed in a cupboard.

A lot of those things lock up as there is grease where it should not be or it goes hard & glues things. I had the Utes speedo start making noises like a strangled chook & rather than modular service it with another, just a likely to have the same issues, I dismantled it cleaned it re-lubed & all is well. Circuit board cleaner is useful there. Oldest clock in the place still running is pre 1930 (Ansonia "Antler").

There is a clock repairer in Rutherglen Vic. Apparently they're pretty good. Things are getting better gears can be printed, & CNC's can cut gears that small.

I just found out that Clive has Passed away RIP.
