72 Electra - clock repair/quartz conversion

[not a charger]

The clock on my 72 Electra works, but doesn't keep accurate time. For those who have had their clocks restored, what vendor(s) did you use and how was the service? I'd prefer to convert mine to a quartz movement.

Just get a kit & do it yourself..
It's really quite easy.
Just follow the directions.

I used ClockWorks to restore mine. I did however keep it factory original, so it does not keep time worth anything.

There's a way to adjust it as explained in the owners manual.

As I understand it these clocks will self adjust themselves if you reset the time on a daily basis until they maintain accuracy.

Buckingham Palace has one guy dedicated to reseting all the vintage clocks periodically. One clock is in haunted room, the clock guy has had to go at night to reset it with only a flashlight. The manual says periodic resetting is required because of its design. Excessive reseting might not be okay.
