Sangamo Conversion by Les McAlister
Model, LM-3
This clock was originally several different parts.
1. A New Haven Statue Clock case purchased on Ebay.
2. A Generation 2, Type B movement and ID tag salvaged from a destroyed
case.
3. An 11-jewel (factory converted from 7-jewel) Hamilton oval platform
salvaged from a timer.
4. 4-rod Chime Rod block from a New Haven Westminster Chime clock.
5. Hands salvaged from a different Sangamo clock.
6. Dial salvaged from a destroyed 3/4 size Hamilton-Sangamo Banjo Clock.
7. Back cover for a Sangamo Bronze clock..... I don't remember where this
came from.
Sangamo advertised that they would convert any clock to a Sangamo Electrically Wound clock and several examples have been found confirming that this was in fact done. As such I am always on the lookout for a unique case that would be worth the effort to convert it to a Sangamo Electrically Wound clock. This one was it......
