There are other methods, but this one seems to work well.

Thanks John for that link! You all have been most helpful in my restorations! I may document this and see how well it works. I have several of these in que that I may use this procedure on.

GE made a lot of radios of similar design with only minor changes or upgrades. There was a change between 1951-1955 on the circuit around the 12BE6 that is above my pay grade. The first link is to a Model 514 giving info on clock repair also compare the circuit around the 12BE6 with that of a Model510 http://www.nostalgiaair.org/pagesbymodel...007697.pdf

I finally think I have this one up and running. Interesting how something simple isn't always simple. I guess this is part of what makes this hobby interesting. I lubed the clock motor like was posted by Eliot. Thanks, it worked. Still makes some noise, but not as bad. Thanks Henry for sending the back. This was a holdup. After shortening the back by 1/2 inch, and a couple of tries with the connections, it is working great. I have been burning it in for a couple of weeks, and so far so good! I did a little cleaning on the cabinet.

It's a slightly different model from the one TV man has, and he sure wants a lot for one with a cracked cabinet, even if they are hairlines. I saw one locally for less then half that much in a store, but walked away from it for the same reason. Frankly he really wants too much for most of his sets considering that he's in Canada and wants U.S dollars for everything, if there is one thing Edmonton has lots of it's post war plastic sets, so I don't think he will get many local bites. But that seems to be the common issue with radio attic, premium prices asked for relatively common and or ordinary sets, some with "restorations" of very questionable competency.
