Clock Rare
Posted March 2, 2011

does anyone know where I might come accross a ABEC Smiths Clock platform ?? They are very rare, thankyou?
I have a 1930's Daval clock which needs a ABEC Smiths platform, these are very hard to come by as Smiths shut down in 1979, this clock has huge sentimental value to me
Q. "Where can I get spare parts for Smiths Clocks or where can I send my clock for repair?"
A. Parts
I do not know of anybody who has any original spare parts for Smiths Clocks. When Smiths decided to stop making clocks in 1979 they simply closed down, making no provision for future repair needs.
One possible source, if the item has a high sentimental value, is eBay, because Smiths made clocks in unbelievably large numbers and there is a constant stream of these for sale on eBay, so that it may be possible to find one with a similar part in it. Be aware that whatever you buy will be as old, and potentially as worn, as the part you are replacing!
Repairs to Smiths handwound clocks.
I believe that most clock repairers nowadays will undertake repairs to handwound models, although in times gone by they tended to dismiss them as rubbish.
Repairs to Smiths Sectric models
These are a problem. No repairer in his right mind will undertake a repair, because an electrical item has nowadays to pass very stringent tests for safety reasons. The repairer would be liable if he did not fully test the item and the test equipment required is very expensive.
The external appearance of an old sectric can be retained by fitting a replacement synchronous or quartz movement (both are available from parts suppliers or a local clocksmith, but neither will be of Smiths manufacture), though the value to a collector is lost.
Repairs to Smiths Battery or Quartz clocks
Old battery and quartz clocks also present a repair problem because they often contain plastic parts and if these have failed then no replacements are available. Since such clocks have as yet little or no value to collectors the simple answer is to have a new movement fitted.
Modern quartz movements are readily available and sizes to suit most clocks can be obtained. All the movements now available are of foreign manufacture.
