Flip clock flop :(

[mr.ochre]

Hello all from the UK
What a great site you have! Im
looking forward to exploring more.. but more pressing issues are to hand.
I am looking for a replacement motor for
my long trusted flip clock. Can anyone help me? The local vintage electric repairer
wont touch it!

I might possibly have a motor for you but need some more info. What model/make clock is it from and do you have a picture of the other side of the motor? The side where the motor resides?
Did it stop spinning or is it still spinning?

It could just be a lubrication issue.

It very likely only needs some oil as Engineer notes.

Hello all, I a member so all good
The motor is still spinning but the white cogs are not. It was an intermittent fault and now is permanent. I know it’s a Goldstar, I will get some more photos this evening for everyone.

Thanks for the extra info. I do not know that particular clock or have had it here, but from your description it sounds like a gear has worn out inside the gearbox of the motor. This is essentially repairable.

Do you do a repair service in the uk at all?

[flipoclock]

Not in the UK, I am one island to the left from you (ROI), but I do offer a repair service, if you want more info on that, please send me a personal/private message.
