    Need help with an ailing Sankyo 423 clock


    I am having an issue with my Sankyo 423 alarm clock. It was operating very loud, so I figured that it would be a great idea to take it apart and maybe lubricate it. (Now I have a non working clock)
    The motor is similar to a Telechron shaded pole motor. Once I opened it up, it was a filthy gummed up mess. So I cleaned it out with alcohol and then Deoxit. There is nothing left on the main gear that drives the whole mechanism. I know that some Sankyo's that use the Intermatic timer motor can be fixed...this is not one of them. Wondering if anyone knows anyplace I can get a new or used working motor for my clock?

    In a round about way (long story) I got my hands on a Sankyo Model 401. It has the exact motor. Just FYI. And, like yours, my motor is kaput! I can tell all the electronics work but it's pretty evident that the motor is a mess. So, if you ever find a replacement let me know.
    For now I'm jamming it in a box to take down to deep storage in disgrace mode (that's when I don't even bother to put it back together, just box it up).

      Will do, it seems these motors are made from 100% Unobtanium...

        Unobtanium - that's perfect.
