Noisy clock

When I first brought our new, used 1995 3023 home a few weeks ago, my son wanted to sleep in it overnight in the driveway right away. So he did. He slept in the front slide out sofabed. The next morning he told me about how really loud the Stratus quartz clock is. He was right. Clunk, clunk, clunk... What a racket!

I don't know if you all have this same loud clock, but if you do, and find the clock annoying, here's a solution. www.clockit.com sells all kinds of parts for clocks. I ordered a continuous sweep thin movement and transplanted it into the clock. It works fine, and is totally silent. The only modification was to add a commmon flat washer on the clock shaft as a spacer. Total cost $19.25 including shipping. Total time for the operation 30 min. Tools required Phillips screwdriver.

The part numbers I ordered are:
10045 movement $12.95
66927 hands $0
68036 second hand $0.35
