<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 296142, member: 3235"]Looks like a correct movement... cord looks like a replacement. What often happens with early electrics is 1) oil in the sealed rotor dries up or, 2) turns thick like glue from not being used. If you start to hear a grinding sound.... it's on it's way out. As they say - If it's not broken, don't fix it. A nice little clock you found - the electrics made between 1925-35 were all the rage and had higher prices then the wind ups of the day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
