Success!! The modern Seiko quartz movement has been installed.

I glued the old hands on top of the new ones with Superglue, see photos. The exception was the seconds "sweep hand" from the new clock which was chopped down so that only its center bevel remained, and then glued *on top* of the old seconds hand, because this was how the Seiko shaft was configured. The new bevel is silver, the old hand is gold, so I will need to paint the new bevel gold eventually.

The entire movement was glued onto the back a custom-cut thin sheet of aluminium, with a hole pierced in the middle for the shaft. The old clock face was glued onto the front.

I am thrilled with the result. This was my ham radio "shack" clock (set to GMT) in America before moving to the UK three years ago and it is now resuming its rightful place in the shack, minus the RFI. It should last many more years yet!

Paul: Thank you, your advice helped give me the courage to undertake this, my first very modest clock restoration ... or rather, modern butchery, but very few people will know....
