Hello! Welcome to my website.
I bought one of these brand new way back in 1979, and have enjoyed a fascination with them ever since. So, yes. I'm old. I was trained as an Electronics Technician during my active duty time in the United States Air Force and have worked in that trade for much of my life. I am blessed with good electrical, mechanical, and troubleshooting skills and have always enjoyed fixing things myself instead of having someone else do it. I am also a "tinkerer."
My website primarily focuses on the Arrow Electric Ball Clock (which was made by the Arrow Handicraft Corporation): Because when I started this website - that is all I was working on. Since that early beginning, my customers have taught me that these motors are in a lot of other signs, clocks, and devices. I apologize to those customers for not having more content here about your device.
After Arrow stopped production; the clock continued on as the Time Machine Kinetic Clock. The set of Replacement Balls that I sell are also for the Time Machine Clock.
The Intermatic Motor that is used in this clock is also used in the Arrow Domino Clock, Arrow Coin Clock, (some) Kit Cat Klocks, (some) Olympia and Lone Star Beer Signs, (some) Jefferson Golden Hour Mystery Clocks, (some) Flip Clocks, (some) Sankyo Digital Clocks, Pool, Hot Tub, & Spa Timers, and many other items. See my Intermatic Motor Repair page for a detailed listing of many Intermatic Motor numbers that my Replacement Gears will repair.
Just in case you're interested - I've been creating and compiling a collection of videos on a bunch of random tips and tricks about a whole lot more than just clocks and signs - home repairs, DIY solutions, lawn & garden, and more. I'd love for you to check out my YouTube channel, Rick's Tid-Bits. (Click on the photo)
I especially think you’ll find my How to Make Life Easier or Better section helpful.
(I'm not selling anything or getting paid from companies – I feel like some wonderful and unique ideas pop into my head - and I want to share them with people with the hope that they help others also.)
