Buy clock movements here

""

To convert a clock to fast-time, replace the original movement with a modified Quartex Q80 movement, then connect it to an FCC4 fast clock controller.

The Q80 movement is a standard size, so you can convert almost any clock into a fast clock. Usually it just snaps in! Or you can install it in any clock using the included nut and washer on the threaded shank.

You need one modified movement for each fast-time clock on your layout.

Important!

Do not order these movements for a pre-2013 fast clock controller. They will not work with it.

In 2013 the fast clock controller was completely redesigned into the FCC4 to work with the imported Q80 clock movements Klockit now sells instead of the original USA-made movements.

These imported movements work only with the FCC4, not with pre-2013 controller. Likewise, movements for the pre-2013 controller do not work with the FCC4.

USA-made movements for a pre-2013 controller are no longer available. Klockit doesn't sell them, and I have none remaining. I wish this were not the case, and I deeply regret the situation.


Buy movement kits to do the modification yourself, or choose movements modified and tested, ready to install.

(Alternatively, you can buy movements directly from Klockit, and supply your own resistor and wire for the modification.)

Modifying a clock movement is simple, and takes only 15-20 minutes, (faster if you do several in a batch). You will need to solder to small pins in the clock movement. Please consider your abilities and available tools when choosing clock movements.

These instructions from the user manual can help you decide whether to order clock movements modified and tested, ready to go, or as kits with parts for you to do the modification.

First read about clocks, then come back here to order the movements you need.

Look at alternate clock hands at the bottom of this page to decide if you want different hands than those I normally include with movements.

Optional – choose alternate clock hands

Each movement comes with one set of #66927 hands (a 3½" minute hand) for a time ring 7" in diameter, but you may specify shorter hands if you have a smaller clock.

This photo shows the four hand sizes and styles I offer (Klockit has more), along with rulers (not exact size) to help judge the length. You can snip off a short portion of the minute hand if it is too long.

If you prefer hands other than the #66927, select from the Choose alternate clock hands list below and click Add to Cart. There is a 1¢ charge for alternate hands because the shopping cart doesn't allow items with no price. You may choose one alternate set of hands for each movement you order.


Price Increase – 2024

Klocket has sharply increased prices on the Q80 movements, forcing me to raise my prices. I regret this, and will drop them if Klockit's prices come down again.
