Question
Hi Michael,
I have a Tochigi Tokei Co, Ltd, No (0) Jewels Unadjusted clock that came out of the Waterford Crystal small mantle clock.  I lost the battery and don't know what to replace it with or even how many volts it was.  It was cylindrical.  The movement had the numbers 41102A 5021T in the battery case and A4 etched into the plastic. The movement is probably 20 years old and works great.  Any chance you would know what battery type it needs?

Answer
Hi Steve. without seeing the movement I don't know what was in it but I can tell you this: They are virtually all 1.5 volts. If it's a cylindrical battery it is most likely an "N" cell. This battery looks like a "AAA" but is much shorter. You can get them at some grocery stores or Radio Shack.
If it's a button battery is it probably a #377 watch battery.
Let me know if you need more help.
Michael
