Raytheon Clock
made by Pam Clock Co.
from the '50's
From my collection, this hung on my wall for
last 10 years. It looked so great when I purchased it, I just
bought in home and hung it. When, I decided recently to offer it
for sale, I remembered why I had not plugged it in. The cheap
plastic motor cover on the rear was damaged. When I attempted to
repair it I discovered the motor was also damaged. The replacement
Pam clock motors (yes, the original types are still available) is
a bit larger and more substantial than the cheap one that was
originally in this clock.
I did not want to place one of those common
$3.00 quartz battery motors in this piece, so I purchased a new
Pam motor and spent the next two days figuring out how to
house it. I found the perfect solution and from the way it worked
out, it looks (unless given a close inspection) very kosher.
Keeps good time, runs silent and other than
the new motor and rear housing, all original.
Radiola replacement volume control Rheostat
For Radiola *16, 17 & 18, 33, 60 and
others that use a 2 - 3K wire-wound potentiometer. *Radiola 16 &
17 - see note (1) below.
NOS - 2.5K, 4 watt wire-wound. Why is such a high power part
needed? - answer, click
HERE.
This is a modern part that can
easily be fitted in the above models (+ many other radios with a
similar circuit arrangement).
Note (1), the Radiola 16 & 17 require some tooling to reduce the
shaft diameter other wise it's the same as used on the '18 &
other models. Do your own
tooling and order the one above or order below for one that's
ready to install.
these are becoming hard to
find, expensive and my supply is limited
Almost impossible to find undamaged. Here's
one from my collection, this beautiful example of this highly
desirable, undamaged (no hidden repairs). It's just like it was
when removed from the wall of an old TV shop about 30 years ago.

Hickok Roll Chart Gear replacement roll chart gear for Hickok tube testers
Reproduction roll chart gear,
fits most Hickok tube testers.
You will often find this gear with
missing or broken teeth. There is a good reason for that and if
you just replace the gear, you are also likely to break the new
one.
REASON: the original roll
charts on the early models were often updated to include the
ever increasing number of new tubes. When the new, longer chart
was installed, this made made the spooled chart thicker and
prone to lock up near the end of their travel. So the operator
would attempt to force movement of the chart by simple brute
force (with accompanying sore thumb) or employed the aid of a
screwdriver or other tool. This force, of course would often
result in damaging the gear.
Prognosis: the chart was
installed incorrectly (too tight) or the original
wood roll chart spools were a bit too large in diameter to
accommodate the new roll charts.
Solution: install new,
(smaller diameter) wood spools when replacing the broken gear. You
can get nice straight wood dowels at a good hardware store. Make
sure they are straight and use a lathe to drill new end holes. I
find the 1/2" diameter size works best when using the updated,
long, comprehensive updated roll charts.
Tip: you will have to
carefully drill out the small rivet that holds the gear in
place. Then use the correct size machine screw & nut to replace
the rivet if you don't have a replacement rivet.
WARNING!
after replacing the gear, if your chart does not roll
freely from end to end and you force it, the new gear is
very likely to break.
