I am trying to repair a friends Korean Wall Clock. While shipping it to me, the USPS lost the package! I am now trying to find a replacement movement which is turning out to be a frustrating & monumental task. Does anyone know if one of these rare (?) movements is available for sale or, if not, at least the tooth counts on the EW & timing gears. The movement uses a 15" leader and a 15" lyre style pendulum. Pictures are attached of the clock and the movement (prior to it being disassembled for shipment). Thanks for your help in advance! #5.jpg #5a.jpg thumbnail (6).jpg

Why do you need a replacement movement? Those are repairable. You cannot find new movements like those at any suppliers I know of. They are not high quality movements but can be made to last much longer.

As I understand it, the movement was lost in the mail. My first thought would be to search for another movement to rebuild. They always pop up on ebay, etc. I just saw one.

Yes, I thought it had no movement to but the photo shows a typical Korean movement. Maybe that’s not the actual clock. The movement in that one probably has a different escape wheel due to the long case and pendulum:???:

No. Tom in his post says that the pictures were taken "prior to it being disassembled for shipment"

I see that now. Didn’t read it well. Thanks.
It may be tough to find that movement with that long drop. I have a few of those, but they are for drops about half that low.
