does anyone remember these clocks from the 70s they had a clear plastic movement and took a D sised battery, they had a little magnetic flywheel inside and they ticked like a mechanical clock. they were not quartz. The last time I saw one was in the 80s when we had one before my mom threw it out, and i'd really like to get my hands on another one, can someone PLEASE help me out?

I'm looking fo rthe same thing and have a clock with this movement that ran for 25+ years w/o any problems until th eclock fell off the wall - have you ever found one of these movements ??

I have an old clock with this type of movement, but it doesn't keep good time because one of the plastic gears (probably the hour one) inside is missing some teeth. The second hand has a sweep movement and it runs on a C battery. It's so quiet I have to put my ear right up to it to tell it's running. I'd love to find a replacement movement (or just parts), but haven't had any success either.

The case says:
BURWOOD
Germany

US PAT. 3 621 468
3 601 974

There's also a small +-5 sec adjustment screw on the back.
