Ok, I will check that...the gears are enclosed. I saw screws to remove the top, I will also check the bottom and get that done.

Thanks!

I apologize, I made that sound very confusing.

The clock keeps time just fine.

When I meant the clock stopped spinning was that it actually rotates on the base, on the inside. Not the hands on the clock like I initially made it sound.

Here is a videa: http://youtu.be/R3H8bzvLP0I

See how it spends 360 degrees...mine hangs up every once and a while and does spin, but it will hold the time perfectly.

Hopefully I cleared myself up, and thanks!

Well the falstaff sign was a repro...its still neat, and for $25 I'm not complaining.

The michelob one was original,from 1971 I believe. I saw one this weekend at the antique flea market, in a bit of better shape he was asking $85 for it.

I'm happy with my purchase. My clock does stop spinning every once in a while, any recommendations on grease or something to try to fix the problem?

Thanks!

I just sent an email asking about the years they are from. They are both working, and the Michelob one lights up

This is my first post, so hello all!

I was going to buy these two clocks on Craigslist, they are cheap. I'm not hitting jackpot or anything, but does anyone know if these are nice or just another old beer clock?

Two clocks, four pictures.

Thanks!
