I recently stumbled upon this clock at my church's thriftstore and had to take it home after seeing the Jefferson Mystery Clock thread (there is one of those there too, but I did not take it and after doing some research I am going back as soon as they open!) . . . anyways, the Mastercrafters is in excellent condition, but sometime in its past, a repair was attempted on the motor - with GLUE! . . . needless to say its shot . . . the wires to the motor must have broken off, hence the 'repair', and it looks as if there is at least one break in the winding . . . I found a site that sells replacement motors for 155 clams, but I'd rather not . . . any ideas? . . .
