Question
i purchased a marine clock in a cube sold by Triangle,INC.. their contact info provided on the original product warranty is no longer valid. The box on the back says TOCHIGI TOKEI CO,.LTD. NO(0)JEWELS UNADJUSTED PAT.PEND. JAPAN   Would you know how or where I can get my clock fixed???  THANK YOU! Maureen

Answer
Most of the time you can change out a quartz movement with one of another brand. I need to know some specific information about the movement if you would like me to match it for you.
The important things are:
How long is the hand shaft? you need to remove the movement from the clock to measure this.
How is the minute hand held on? It will either be presses on or have a small nut holding it on.
What sort of battery does the clock use?
Does it chime?
Does it have a pendulum?
