clock repair

Is there anyone out there who can repair an old BHS wall clock which I'm very fond of. The metal tab that holds the battery in place has broken so I need to replace it but don't have the tools. It may be too old & the parts too fragile by now but I don't want to throw it away unless I'm sure it can't be mended.

I am sure it can be mended. The entire clock mechanism will be in a 2 inch x 2 inch black plastic box which also holds the battery. The easiest way is to buy a replacement mechanism which any handy person could fit. I've done it myself. eBay has them for around ?5, but you need to know the correct type.


I don't know anyone who trades as a 'battery clock fixer' but maybe some electronic / computer / phone repair people might help you. The covered market in Peckham could be a place to start.


Please don't throw it away - someone can do it.

    • In my experience there is no fool proof solution to this with any company. Delivery drivers are people and people will make mistakes, cut corners, mis-understand instructions or simply not read them.  I've left instructions for parcels with just about every single company out there and at some point they've all screwed up.  I think the security camera is the best deterrent for thieves. In this case, my ring door bell spooked them off. I've just installed warning signs at my safe space to make it even clearer that they're being recorded. In the case that mistakes do still happen by the couriers, at least I know about it on the camera and can try to alert a neighbour if I'm not home.  Its sad that we have to turn our homes into fort knox with cameras but that's the world we live in. 
    • Ultimately unacceptable behaviour at many schools of all types was exposed by Everyone Invited, not just at Dulwich College. 
    • Come now, you have seen the constant threads concerning poor post and deliveries since the Dulwich office closed and merged with Peckham  Surly that alone tells you how it would compare to now as the whole system was way more efficient.  But despite the complaints and warnings here we are!!
    • Surely that would just make the system even more complicated?
