Clock for \'65 Galaxie

Anybody know where I can get a new clock, preferably quartz electronic to replace the cheap-*ss Westclox original clock?

I've tried talking to clock rebuilders about rebuilding the original crapheap, but the discussions always seem to break down over a) price, and b) no warranty despite the high price. So, I want to replace the semi-mechanical/electric clock with a decent new one. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Maybe you can take your old one apart and adapt a battery operated one in there instead. Batteries in most I've had last at least a year. I have a clock on the wall made with one of those cheap clock works and it's still keeping good time and has the same battery from almost 3 yrs ago.
That's my plan one of these days when I get ambitious. That might be a while but would be nice to have a clock as I can never keep a wrist watch for long. I had one of those velcro ones but think it got baked in the sun too many times so i need to find a shaded place to put another one if I get one.

Check Hemmings, there are a few vendors who upgrade the original to quartz. Don't know the price but you'll only have to do it once. Good luck
