While tracking down clock parts at a yard sale, i found these 2 400 (?) day clocks. not sure of the year of one, and the second one could care less about because its battery.

Nice to see the diamond dials as they're a bit different. It's a Kundo from probably the 1950s/1960s. Looks like the lower part of the spring guard is missing.

im going to just replace the suspension parts. As for the battery clock, its all parts...lol. By the way, seeing as how ive actually not looked under it, how do i level the clock. The other 400 day i have has adjusters on the base. the 2 clocks only cost me 10 bucks, and the domes are worth that.

Don't automatically turn up your nose at the quartz clock. You may be surprised to find out how sophisticated it is on the inside. There are a number of us on these threads that have made some interesting and enlightening discoveries by peering under the hoods of some of the early quartz clocks.

Without any built-in leveling feet, you just have to find something to shim the base at a couple of points. I use cut up pieces of old credit cards. I suppose if you had access to a wood working shop, you could make up some nice wood wedges.

Hardware stores carry wood shim stock, very handy.

Craft sticks shaped like tongue depressors or coffee stir sticks work well also.

An old deck of playing cards serves me for shimming clocks.

Probably could use a couple of levels like item 11703 on the Timesavers website. I bought a couple at a mart a number of years ago. Using two of them, you can get a better sense of fore-aft and side-side level. Of course, having a guide cup properly located also helps.

yeah getting it level wont be a problem, i just wasnt sure if there was any somewhere easy to see. My other one has the adjusters, and i hadne even looked at this one. I seen what it was and bought it on the spot.

Sometimes the adjuster feet were removed or are missing. Have you confirmed they were never there?

yeah once i looked at it there was no sign of any or a place to put them. Im not worried, getting things level is the easy part.
