Re: convert to quartz?

Some years ago I had my 56 clock with Borg movement done by Instrument Services and was very happy with the conversion. I don't know whether 35 used the Borg movement or how the diameter of the 35 clock compares with the 56 but you might give them a call and see if they can do it. Hand size mismatch where they press onto the stems of the new movement might be an issue with an older clock. Another issue with the larger clocks is the quartz movement is fairly small and mounted right in the center but on the larger diameter clocks with the time set knob extending out the dash glass the distance from the movement is quite far away. On the 56 clock Instrument services had to fabricate a plate to hold and place a couple of extra idler gears in the string so the set gear on the movement could mesh with the far away knob.
