MG TD TF 1500 - Clock repair?

Hello, Does anyone know who repairs the early TD clocks ? I had mine done by a gentleman here on the board who has now passed. He did a great job…you could check an atomic clock with the thing..now it ticks away but there are fears that are no longer pushing the hands around.

Huge is the go-to guy. Not only will he clean your clock, but it will also work for a long time when he is done.
Bruce Cunha

Thank you. I did not know Hugh was doing them.

My clock(TD 4034) was replaced with a thermometer, when???. Does anyone have the diameter of the clock, a small 13/16" quartz is available would this fit ???
JON LEVINE

I shopped around at a Walmart and found a quartz watch with a close color and no date window and fitted this since many decades ago my TD came to me with no clock. Took a bit of work to get a suitable attachment set up.

Tom, I have sent two emails in reply to your query. Check your spam folder, maybe its lurking there.

Thanks Hugh. I will look.

I was aware of the quartz watch work around..I want to keep the car as stock as possible.

With my replacement stepper motor TD clocks it is very hard to tell the difference.

To answer Jon Levine's question, the clock aperture is 22mm.
