Question

Part #12888 from Young
I have Maritime that has a Young Town Quartz #12888 that needs to be replaced. I cannot find this part on the internet.  Do you sell these? I found a similiar product #12888PKS but it lacks the thumb wheel, otherwise it looks exactly what is in the clock

Answer
We don't sell Young Town Quartz movements. Usually quartz movements can be replaced by other brands. The size of the box is universal but there are considerations like the hand mounting shaft length, diameter and threaded mounting base.
What is the "thumb wheel" you are talking about? Is it the setter?
Does it need to be in a certain location to fit in the clock?
