About Takane Mini Quartz Pendulum Clock Movement / Motor w/ hands & hanger 2204TA USA by Takane
Overall Feedback:
86% positive
81% praised for its precise timekeeping, but 19% experienced slight deviations
The pendulum is swinging again with this Takane clock movement replacement, unlike the previous one from another vendor.
After 6 months of usage, even after trying different batteries, the pendulum stopped moving. The return was not helped by the seller.
87% found it easy to adjust, while 13% had difficulties
I had to adjust the clock-movements by cutting the length of the hands and omitting the second hand to make sure the pendulum swung again.
Measure the length of the threaded portion of the shaft before buying the product, as not all of these movements are the same.
I had to do some engineering to get the minute hand to work because the movement does not use friction fit.
81% appreciated its sleek design, but 19% found it outdated
I noticed that the movement of the clock was not clean and it looked cheap. It moved forward with a jerk and bounced back a bit making it look loose and cheap. I took the second hand off and have been using it without it, and it performs like the old movement did.
The movement of the clock was not clean and looked cheap. It moved forward with a jerk and bounced back a bit making it look loose and cheap. I removed the second hand and it now performs like the old movement did.
My clock's brass pendulum and hands did not match.
I was initially pleased with the clock mechanism and pendulum, but it failed after several months.
After following the directions and trying different batteries, the pendulum stopped moving after 6 months of use.
86% praised for its durability, but 14% experienced premature wear
The pendulum is swinging again, which was not the case with another Takane clock movement replacement bought from another vendor previously. This indicates good durability of the clock movement.
I bought two clock movements. The first one kept stopping, but the second one works perfectly and has not drifted in a month.
The clock movement does not use friction fit for the minute hand, making it difficult for me to use my original hands. It would have been helpful if this was noted in the description.
After following the directions and trying different batteries, the pendulum stopped moving after 6 months of usage.
91% found it easy to install, but 9% found it difficult
I personally installed the clock-movement and can confirm that the clock is now working again. The control board has proven to be easy to use and offers many options and presets.
Measure the length of the threaded portion of the shaft before installing the clock movement, as not all of them are the same.
I had to engineer the minute hand to work because the clock movement did not use friction fit. Also, the basic looking hands that came with the new clock movement were not what I wanted. This shows my negative feedback regarding the ease of installation of clock movements.
I was initially satisfied with the clock mechanism and pendulum, but it failed after several months.
79% praised for its silent operation, but 21% found it noisy
I gave 5 stars because the clock movement works well.
My observation is that the second hand movement is jerky and it appears loose, which makes it look cheap.
My pendulum failed after several months and now requires more frequent battery changes.
