Youngtown 12888 Clock Movement 15/32" Thread Battery Operated Replacement

I ordered this to replace the failed mechanism on my 15.5" diameter Mickey Mouse Glass Wall Clock. I knew that the thread length was correct but that the shaft was too long. I could not find a mechanism that had both the correct thread length and the correct shaft length. I was able to make it work by removing the grommet on the minute hand. I wanted to use the old hands, not the included new ones, because they are Mickey's hands. So, after a little tweaking it is working fine. Some reviews complain about the ticking level. I find it to be the same as the old mechanism. The clock may now be running a little slow due to the heavy hands on this clock, but I will have to see if that causes the mechanism to fail quickly. A good buy for $10 to fix an expensive clock. Before and after images attached.

This clock mechanism was an absolute lifesaver. It came with the movement and three different sizes of hands, which made it easy to find the perfect fit. One set was exactly right for a clock my husband made for me 40 years ago. When the original hands got damaged while I was moving the clock, I was completely devastated. Thankfully, this mechanism and the hands turned out to be a perfect match. Installation was straightforward, everything fit beautifully, and the clock is now back to working as it should. Seeing it running again means so much to me. The fact that this fixed such a sentimental piece for less than $10 makes it even better. I couldn’t be happier and highly recommend this to anyone needing to repair or restore a special clock.

Only complaint is when used on a larger clock. The largest hands look narrow. Not as wide as originals. Pictures shown for hands seam larger than actual. It’s hard to find the correct length and width. It’s recommended to buy a set with multiple hands. Be sure to get the correct stem length also. This one worked for thinner base.

So far, so good. It was as close to the original as I could find and it is working overnight and keeping time. The original died after a number of years and we loved the clock, so finding this as a replacement was great. I hope that it lasts half as long as the original, and the it continues to keep time.

Clear instructions. Easy to install. A favorite clock that sat in the garage for 10+ years due to a bad mechanism, is back on the wall and appears to be keeping perfect time. I had to put my ear next to the to hear it working. Great purchase.

Fit my kitchen wall clock perfectly

Still working 2 weeks later, but I have to say that the difficult to remove plastic coating on the hands was only slightly thinner than the hands themselves, very flimsy! They're also a bit wobbly when fitted onto the drive stem, which keeps the hands in iffy locations depending on which way gravity pulls them, which at times makes it difficult to read the accurate time. Also the tiny threaded nut that goes on after the hands was very difficult to deal with, and ended up threading on cockeyed by its own volition! I'll follow up if it doesn't last very long!

Great product

Tried bringing my wall clock into a watch repair shop but they didn’t want to handle it, so I decided to try and repair it myself. Amazon had a great selection of different clock mechanisms, so picking the right one was easy. Would definitely do this again.

Delivery was fine and items supplied looked good, easy to install. Worked perfectly for a few days then died completely, changing battery made no difference.

Very easy to install

Nice kit.
