Have I set my standards too high.

I would try to get some money back since it is not as described and like you said, it will cost you a lot of money.  See what he says.

Dave ,
That stinks. I've gotten to where I hate ebay. Hope all this works out for you soon.

Hi Guys

Just a quick update. I took Glen's advice and over the weekend, inbetween that thing that puts the bread on the table (Work)  took the clock to bits. Re-wired it and "fiddled" with the motor and, kingers crossed it has worked since.

Have sourced new glass and bezal but I think i'll keep it as it is. A bit worn round the edges but original.

Thanks everyone for your kind advice.

Dave

Hey! Lets see the gas pump... looks good from what I can see!
You found some great pieces this past year!
And the clock doesn't look so bad.... Way to go!

[SIGNGUY]

Yeah. looks fine for a wall hanger... Gas PUmps TOo.. Let's see the collection again Dave... looks like you've added more than the pictures I've seen in the past!

Well that clock looks pretty good now Dave! . Really no need to replace a glass unless it is cracked or broken.
        If the seller had it lit up like you do, in his auction............... he would have got a lot more bids and a lot more money $$$         You scored Buddy  '>
