Hey all, I am restoring a Philco 570 grandfather clock radio. It has the original clock but of course there is a broken gear. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement clockwork motor? The hands and face are perfect so no replacement needed there. Thanks!
Doc

Most times people put in some of those AA battery movements.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
