Clock Guts

[soth122003]

Got a question about the actual clock guts/workings. Are they interchangeable? Would the clock innards from a dodge 46-48 work on a Plymouth of the same years? My clock has a cracked minute gear and hangs up. If the chrystler clock mechanisms for these years are interchangeable that could be a money saver for clock repairs. Any thoughts or facts would be appreciated.

Are they the same brand name as per stamped into the rear side of the case?

 

Maybe if so, but- maybe not- compare??

I would imagine that they most likely are interchangeable.  Especially if the size and shape of the clock is the same.

There has to be some overlap on the internal workings of the clock mechanism.

Actually considering the cost of a P11 / P12 or P15 clock and the relatively low price of a 1940's Chrysler or DeSoto clock that's a great idea.

To rebuild a non-functional "pricey" clock with the guts from another "lower" priced unit.

Here is what I did.

I got ahold of a non-functioning clock for my 1950,

and replaced the guts with a small battery operated one.

The battery lasted almost 2 years.

No one has caught on yet.

You just let the cat out of the bag, I think.
