Okay folks

I have an original Studebaker
Dealership/Service Dept clock that
advertises Studebaker Batteries. A few
months ago it stopped keeping accurate
time, this morning I came downstairs and
could not believe my eyes, the second
hand is running  BACKWARDS along with
the rest of the clock.

It is an AC motor clock, I cannot see
any DC rectifier, but its runnings
backwards, any ideas?

The clock was made by PAM Clock and Sign
Co. New Rochelle, NY

Bill,

Sounds like you've got that space time continuum thingy going on.

Is there a knob on the back that you can spin to get it started in
either direction?  Some old clocks were that way.  KK

Let her run backwards, to the point just before the fire!  <G>

I have seen this happen before... all we did was unplug the clock, and plug
it back in.  It straighened itself out.

Bill,

The simplest thing would be to sell it to me immediately, then your
problem will be solved<BSEG>!!

Keep it going that way long enough and maybe the factory will re-open and
you can buy that 64 R3 you always wanted :)
