Chess Clocks

[chieflittlehorse]

I used to play chess but haven't in a while.  I just finished replacing a battery on an old Dodger's digital watch as I'm trying to learn watch repair.

My interests in clocks came to being as I was reading about a clock repairman who banks used to call for him to service their bank time locks.

My career is as a locksmith and I have changed safe combinations and I'm interested in all things mechanical.

So after replacing the battery on my watch, the chess clock popped into my head.

So has anyone here ever worked on repairing chess clocks?

CLH!

I have but it was many years ago. As I remember, it was just a 30 hour wind up travel clock movement less the alarm, fitted with stop work and different hands and dial. Today I would think you have quartz instead of mechanical.
