International Time Recorder Clock "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
I just received this clock in for "restoration". It now has an old style battery operated movement that has stopped working. I am going to guess that it might originally have had an electro magnetic movement in it.
A paper inside the clock says:
Style No. 34-47 S/N 411013
24 VDC Nov 25, 1930
My customer would like an original style movement placed in it, so I am hoping that someone can tell me what was original to this case.

Nice clock, I'm thinking Seth Thomas #86 movement.

I've got that movement in a Lobby clock and it's one of the best running clocks in my opinion.

Dave, I a positive that this was a battery operated clock, both from what is on a paper in the clock and the fact that there are no holes in the dial.

Ken,
Yes, I think you are absolutely correct.
Not sure where I got the Seth idea, but I think there were some movements early on that weren't. (battery operated)

Ken, I wish I could, but I can't help you a bit.

I did find out that ITR was the forerunner of IBM and watched a 30 min. video of an ITR Punch Clock restoration. Not at all like your clock but good fun to watch. This guy knows his stuff.

No wonder my friends call me a geek. Smile
