Garrard carriage clock

Well I dunno, you gotta love repeat business, was doing my returns yesterday and one of my customers asked me to take a look at their late fathers retirement present. 
basically it works fine apart from the broken tab for the battery.  The customers husband has had a go at soldering the other tab and this one which has snapped again.
I’ve  has a quick look on line and not found too much, well nothing on this movement. 
anyone have anything that can shed some light on this before I get stuck in with the fibre pens and soldering iron!!!

Hi Judging by the state of the terminals I would be inclined to remove the movement and have a look at removing the old connections back to the movement and remaking new ones, by the look of the rivits they will cut out ok and be replaced with small screws. would look better than a solder job.

Agree a deeper investigation is needed.

Yes it will be coming out the case for a full inspection and I’m not risking any heat exchange to other components such as the dial ( made that mistake once ) so I’ll post pictures as I go along

For what's it wort I never bothered repairing those types of clocks. I hate all battery clocks.

Not too keen on things battery operated myself, but every day is a school day and this one is only requiruing the tabs to be soldered back on.

Well today I affixed the battery tabs to the circuit board. I used screws as solder alone just wasn’t man enough for the job. 
I’ll post a picture tomorrow but when I put in a AA battery it ran fine but the positive end of the battery got pretty hot after about 10 seconds of running. 
My thoughts are that the screws may be touching the back of the dial which is metal, I’ll file theM down some more and put some insulation tape over them to see if this helps. 
Still not identified the movement yet though.
