Zedyone_kenobi Posted March 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2009 Perfect. There is no other way to describe what the work done by Ron Bradley at Zclocks.com looks like. Its seldom that you get better service than you expected these days. But Ron is a very noteworthy exception. My clock never worked and was looking a tad worn from sitting in my Z for 37 years. But Ron took it and completely redid it. The rear bezel looks to be brand new, and even has a smooth almost professional paint job on it. The plastic has been cleaned or replaced not sure, but my glass in that clock was never as clean as he made it. Every visible nut, washer, screw all appears to be brand new. The action is smooth and it feels very well put together. He even goes as far as to replace the wires with correct color wires with correct fittings on them. I am vastly impressed with his work and his professionalism. Behold the rebirth of my Z clock! There is no other word to describe it but perfect... Thanks Ron! Guys I highly recommend him to anybody with a Z clock! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/31055-clock-repair-for-zs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyO Posted March 6, 2009 Share #3 Posted March 6, 2009 Yeah, but does it keep time? How much did the service cost? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/31055-clock-repair-for-zs/#findComment-276436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedyone_kenobi Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted March 6, 2009 He charges varying amounts. Since I had an extra core laying around he charged me 100 bucks to do this. Which I think is astounding! I think without a core it may be 125 dollars, but I recommend talking to him. He is a very nice guy.

MEZZZ Posted March 6, 2009 Share #6 Posted March 6, 2009 I looked at having mine done with Ron and $125 was the price quoted. I had bought a "working" clock off of Ebay that turned out not to work at all. I tried the mehtods of repairing it on this forum and the best I could do was get it to "jump" a little. I tried the battery mechanism fix but it didnt look quite right and I couldnt get the time to adjust. Thats when I emailed Ron. Then a couple nights later, I found another "working" clock on Ebay for $19.99, out of a "78 with the quartz movement. The seller told me he would refund me if it did not work. I rolled the dice, paid him, The bid went up to $39 and I am happy to say I installed it last May and the clock has lost a total of 1 minute in 10 months. One of my few Ebay "deals" Ron does fantastic work, the clock looks great.

Untill then atleast I know it's still correct twice a day.

DougN Posted March 6, 2009 Share #10 Posted March 6, 2009 Agreed, Ron's work is outstanding! As a repeat customer, I have one in my Yellow Z and it looks like new and performs flawlessly. I also put one in my '72 before it went to JoelH that was just as good! Highly recommended!

cunniwj Posted March 6, 2009 Share #11 Posted March 6, 2009 I agree also.He does great work and it keeps good time but it is a pain to put it back in. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/31055-clock-repair-for-zs/#findComment-276547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Moore Posted March 7, 2009 Share #12 Posted March 7, 2009 My clock works sort of, but loses several minutes every day. I always wondered if it was worth trying to "adjust" it or if I should just break down and have it turned to the "Quartz Side"... (Pun intended...)
