Has anyone ever tried to repair the clock motor on one of these radios? If so what did you do? Is the motor replaceable? If yes, where did you get it? Informed people wanna know... Thanks... Dan

I've taken the clock motor apart and found one of the plastic gears had broken causing the "gearbox" to slip when attempting to turn the number dial. Couldn't fix the broken gear and found nothing when searching for a replacement motor or gear.
If it's a broken gear, Dan, I bet you could print one.
I think I saw a YouTube video of someone replacing the clock motor. They would buy a device (I forget what it was) and take the motor out to put in the CB. I will try to find it.
Yes Google it. Its those ac timers you use for like lamps and such. I bought mine at Home Depot but they are sold everywhere. Fixed both my Madison clocks. Open it up and use the gear to replace the bad one in the base clock.

right at the beginning of that video, he shows the metal plate on the back of the motor, then he takes the cover off of the new motor to show the gears.
that silver metal plate on the original motor is notorious for backing out enough for those two gears to lose good contact.
re-seating that plate so the gears cant back out has fixed more than a few clocks for me.

Ebay is selling just the gears for a intermatic. Contacting the seller to see if they will work on the one in the Dwight D... Dan
If they do work will be sending you the dwight d next. I don't dare try and fix it myself... Afraid I might break something... Dan
I've done that repair on a Madison. Bought the stuff from this site:

He's got instructions on how to order what you need so you get the right part. It's pretty easy to do the actual gear swap.

Here is a video showing the number for the timer to get the gears from. I have done this in the past, and the last timer I bought about 7 years ago cost me $7.95 from eBay. Just remember the clock runs on 120vac, so when the radio is plugged in the clock has 120v to it.
