Hello,
My "new" Maytag acquisition was manufactured in July of 1984 at the Hardwick Stove plant.

I am wondering if anyone knows of a source of electric motors that would get the clock working on this unit.
Model LCRG600 it was the top-of-line at the time. It was an estate sale find and cleaned up extremely well. It has the continuous-cleaning oven.
When I created my "washer lab" in my basement I provisioned a spot to include a gas range at some point. I think it fits in quite nicely with the Maytag row of 1980's machines.

Any info on clock parts would be greatly appreciated.

I'd check with (antiquegasstoves.com) a California based company that rebuilds all kinds of classic gas ranges. Lots of folks here are familiar with them and suscribed to their monthly news regarding new arivals as well as before and after pictures. Great company to deal with. Stunning results. They rebuild EVERYTHING from clocks to porcelain grates.
 
Maytag range clock

I have found that if you remove the assembly and clean and oil the clock motor and/or movement 95% of the time they'll come back to life and run for years.

It's quite often the only problem is caked up old lubricants.

I've done it many times with range clock,s oven clocks.....

In fact the only time i failed was with a late 40's Falstaff beer clock because the gears in the movement were a mix of fiber and steel and the fiber gears were warped and it caused too much friction for the motor.
 
That's an absolutely beautiful gas range.  It's a shame Maytag waited so long to offer self-cleaning gas range.  I've lived with a continuous clean electric range for 30 years.  And now the eco Nazis are trying to push down our throats steam clean ovens.  Reviews are horrible.  Whenever I get a new range, it will have a pyrolytic self-clean oven.  No more half-assed oven cleaning for me.  In fact, your range reminds me so intensely of the 1985 Tappan gas range I had for the 10 months I lived in my dream house before I got transferred to where I am now.  And the Tappan was self-cleaning. 
 
RE Hardwick plant

I have been to Cleveland Tennessee and have been by the old Hardwick plant, it is a huge complex, that range is virtually a last generation Hardwick.
 
Thank you....

Thank you for your input and suggestions.
The unit is almost like new and is quality-built.
My mother bought a CRG500 with standard clean oven in 1983 (Harvest Gold). Dad still has it. I always thought if I could get my hands on one of those Hardwick-builds I would jump at it. And I did!!!
Another piece of Maytag history in my basement!!
