Title: Not Coke machine, but maybe you can help
Post by: cokentn on March 18, 2018, 10:26:09 am
I have a nice 1950's Coke clock that the mechanism/hands have failed.
I would like to keep these original hands but can replace the mechanism.
Any idea what I need? Would this old hand even work on a modern mechanism?
Thanks

It depends on whether the motor you buy has the same size shifts coming through to the front of the clock, and if it uses a nut or press fit to affix the hands.

Wonder if that would work?

those hands are shot, I do have replacement hands if you want them.. they are made exactly like original.

I appreciate that. I think the original hands can still work. I just need a mechanism to put them on and I don't know which to order. Any help there would be appreciated.

Try clockworks.com.  I believe that clock takes a Hansen top or bottom set movement.
