Question
I have a SEA SPRITE II and the battery powered unit had ceased to function. What quartz movement replacment (Make? Model? Type?) might you have in stock (or recommend to purchase) which would replace the defective unit.

Answer
I am not familiar with the quartz movement that they put in that clock. There are a few things to consider:
1) how long is the hand shaft? measure from the front of the movement to the tip.
2)Do the hands press on or is there a small nut holding the minute hand on?
3) How does the movement mount into the clock? Is there a large nut at the base of the hand shaft?
4) Does the movement have a pendulum? Chime?
