Hi everyone my names Gary and im an enthusiast trying to repair an old ships clock for a friend.
Whilst inspecting the escapement I discovered the balance pivot was not sitting in the cap jewel correctly, dare say some of the pivot has gone, also noticed a similar issue with the escape wheel pivot, as you can see in pic the pivot has broken.
The balance fork appeared to be seating ok!
This clock is an Astral # 156.
Im hoping someone has spare parts for the escapement or even an entire movement complete for sale?
If not is there someone to contact that can machine new parts?
BTW I live in Perth Australia and understand postal difficulties atm but am willing to explore most options.
Happy to supply as many pics as it takes for ID purposes.
PS I did notice a thread on here of a similar clock from 2019.
PPS please don't fret regarding the rodico and hairspring as the rodico was removed immediately after pic was taken.
Regards Gary
