John (Eliot) - yes, I know 
Back when I had my 80 Colonial Clock, its original motor had been replaced with a newer AC motor with a second hand. I had it apart so a friend could shorten the length of the hand adjustment shaft. It did not protrude from the back, but from the bottom, and it was interfering with the dial. This was several years ago.
Mike - the Philco 52 grandfather clock is very rare, but I have one. I'm only aware of two or three in existence. One was in a collection on the Illinois side of St. Louis at one time, and mine came from the St. Louis area (Missouri side - not the same radio). I recall a third but do not remember where it was located.
