I read the opposite, very hard to scratch but easier to shatter. -
A replacement movement is pretty cheap. Assuming you've already tested and changed for a good battery, it's simple enough to swap it out for a new one. -

Hi everyone, I bought a used wall clock with a quartz mechanism. The problem is that when I put a battery in, the clock starts ticking, but the hands don't move. I looked at the mechanism, and it seems that with every other tick, the small gear moves forward, and with every other tick, it moves backwards. I know nothing about clock repair, so I'm hoping someone could tell me whether this is easily fixable by someone like me without special skills or tools or whether I should look at replacing the whole mechanism or taking the clock to someone who knows what to do with it? Best regards, Mika -
There is one Boynton tool on eBay right now. They were sold in pairs or groups of three. One isn’t that helpful alone. Many on eBay are incomplete, so check them carefully. The safety centres that hold the pivot must be intact and not blocked by a broken pivot, ask for pictures if needbe to verify this. They were also made in a few different sizes, so a given set may not be suitable for the movement you want to use it with. With patience, I managed to get a matching set of 3 quite cheaply, they sell for much less than the other tool and are often poorly described, and therefore attract few bidders. Best Regards, Mark
