HOW TO REPLACE A QUARTZ CLOCK MECHANISM

If you have a clock you like and the mechanism that runs it stops working, you can replace it yourself! This is a good DIY to learn! The trick is buying the right new quartz mechanism with the correct size shaft.
I learned a lot about buying the right piece to fit a clock I wanted to keep! I'll show you where I bought mine, how I chose the right type and size, how I took the old mechanism off of the clock, and how I put the new mechanism and the new hands on the clock.

Our wall clock 6168 Quarts mechanism quit yesterday after 20 years. It's a large two foot square wall clock with elaborate metal work. I'll order another mechanism so thanks for this.

Very helpful video, no one else made this kind of video

you are a godsend!! A clock that hasn’t worked in months is suddenly working again!!

[@traceypedigo6405]

Glad you showed this. My issue is opening an antique clock from behind, to reset the glass face back into place in a sessions clock.

I’m on my 2nd clock box replacement. Everything is like clockwork until I get to the last step where I put the cap over the minute hand; it doesn’t go in far enough the make the minute hand taut

[@watchland3361]

You mentioned you didn’t like the little brass snug with black hands what you can do is remove it get a can of black spray paint spray the brass slug. Let it dry over night and install it back in the morning. I do this all the time I fix watches and clocks for a living.

Is there a part to order that connects the hands to the movement?

[@cookiedog2010]

It comes as one piece. Info is in the Description Box.

[@captlarry-3525]

I think we should discuss this over a glass of wine. You can buy so I won't feel uncomfortable.
