    14-inch Clock Dials Needed

    I have three wooden cased time and strike gallery clocks each of which needs a dial. Paper dials will do. Does anyone know of a source for such a dial?

    Help mounting European Instrument Cluster Clock

    Good thought. The problem is that the winding and setting is done by way of the bezel, so it can't mount like others I've seen. The bezel cannot be tight against the panel or the bezel wouldn't be able to be turned to wind and set. I'm thinking about adding some brackets on the back of the...

    Help mounting European Instrument Cluster Clock

    I have this round clock that is intended to be mounted in an instrument panel....somehow. And that's the kicker; I can't figure out how the mounting is supposed to happen. The bezel is the winding and setting mechanism, so in the "in" position, it winds, and in the "out" position, it sets. The...

    Help The Catgut Finally Gave Out...

    Thanks for all the great tips. I went with the synthetic gut used for tennis and badminton rackets. It seems fairly stiff but once I get it in I'll know better. Got this on Amazon for $7.89US for 40 feet. Don't know when I'll get to this, but now I've got no excuses.

    Help The Catgut Finally Gave Out...

    I have a nice 3-weight Vienna Regulator (or whatever it's called) and noticed one of the weights laying on the bottom of the case...the catgut had broken. I removed all three weights pending a resolution. I presume the choices are to replace the catgut in kind, or upgrade to the twisted steel...

    Grande Sonnerie a Bit Off....

    ClipClock, you are THE MAN! I rotated the quarter strike snail (thanks Shimmystep) about 180 degrees, and reassembled and now am VERY happy to say that the strike is doing what it should be doing. Whew. Very thankful that I can return this clock to the wall where it should be hanging. Regards, Dan

    Grande Sonnerie a Bit Off....

    I'm trying to help an elderly woman whose husband worked on this clock movement. It runs fine, but the strike is a bit off. It strikes thus (quarter strike/hour): 4/10 1/10 2/11 3/11 4/11 1/11 2/12 etc. I'd MUCH rather not disassemble this movement, but hopefully, someone can help me put...

    Help Needed in San Diego Area

    OK, sure, there are fires burning all around us, but clock repair must go on! I have in a Grand Soneree Vienna Regulator style clock for repair. The lady said it hadn't run in a very long time and I can certainly see why. Whoever had it last did this lady no favors. I'll spare you the details...
