Those hands look good

+1. Yes indeed, those hour and minute hands look like the originals. Good job!

You know, between this thread and my experience with the GE kitchen clock I converted to battery with the sweep second hand mechanism...

I have two Philco grandfather clock radios. One is a very rare 52. The other has an 89 chassis, and I have not yet determined if the 89 was added in-house, or after the fact. In any event...it may be sacrilege, but I think I am going to install silent (sweep second hand) quartz mechanisms in both. The conversion is reversible, and a heck of a lot cheaper than finding two original spin start motors, then having them restored by someone.
