Easier to find disposable lighters than disposable gloves at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you can give me some advice regarding my "stay at home" project. I have this old brass clock that I want to replace its ancient movement to a quartz one. Everything comes out easily, however I'm stuck at the crucial stage, when I need to separate the back of the clock, which contains the movement, the clock face with hands and everything else; from the front of the clock which contains just the front glass and its frame. My question is how and with what tool I can pry the back part from the front part? (In the pics you can see the outer band of the clock has two half-bands, the front and the back.) Whatever tool I can think of - a flat head screwdriver for example - in my hands will eventually damage the metal . There are no screws that I can see that keep the two parts together: The two bottom screws that you can see in the pics affix the back of the clock to its stand, I don't see the front of the clock attached to these screws. Curiously, there is a hole on each side of the clock near these screws that seem to serve no purpose...or do they? Thankyou in advance for any suggestions.

Or if using the other end, a quick turn with the pencil sharpener. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the movement in the first pic, it's a pre-quartz (or maybe quartz already without mentioning it) movement. It was running when I first got it, and then by mishandling or installing the battery (C size battery) the movement went dead. Or it just didn't like tropical climate:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
