Question
my clock does not work all the time. I want to replace the Young Town Quartz 12888 PatPend00399849 which has two wires coming out of it that I guess goes to the speaker and two other batteries for the sound it makes on the hour and half hour. I have looked for hours at all the clock websites and looked at their pictures of the units but see no wires so
I think its not the right one to buy so I looking for your expert help to see if can leed me in the right direction to purchase the unit. Thanks and hope to see your answer on my e-mail.
John, you are looking for a trigger movement. The only one I know if only triggers the sound on the hour, not the half. Also, you should check the length of the hand shaft to be sure this one will fit in your clock
