	title of this thread your message This is my all time favorite clock i got this clock 20 years ago have replaced the motor twice have bought as many as 5 on ebay so to say the least I love this clock it is my favorite all time clock that i have ever bought I first remember this clock when i was 7 years old 50 years ago, my Dad took me downtown with him and we went into a office of a fellow rich oilman and i saw the clock sitting on the table. I was only seven but was so intrigued that it was such a cool clock and actually dreamed about it for years how cool it was. fast forward 25 years and i saw it at a flee market and I bought it , only for it to go bad a week later, that started my long love affair with clocks cause i found the company that was still making them and i got a motor and installed it my self and bought so many over the years and now on ebay you can get them from 30 to 60 and they are easy to fix here is who made them but Time savers in Scottsdale Arizoia still sell the parts. Jefferson "Golden Hour" Clock The "Golden Hour" clock made by the Jefferson Electric Company of Bellwood, IL in the mid-1950's is the most often seen of the various mystery clocks and certainly one of the best looking. The single glass disk has a toothed metal rim that is driven by a motor in the base. The minute hand rotates with this disk. A gear train drives the hour hand. Crucial to making this system to work without a separate, immobile mount for the gear train is a small weight behind the glass. When new, this system worked well, but with wear and dirt the weight tends to follow the minute hand around until friction is overcome, and the hour hand will jump around wildly, and lose or gain hours, as it sees fit.the other thing the glass does get loose and it has to be reglued and that can be a mess that also cause the clock to run fast Golden Hour clocks used radioactive radium paint on the hands and numerals. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
