TRANSPORTER 1 Posted January 8, 2019 I’d start with the bay then maybe do a quick search for help on some of the other forums, clocks are great to work on as parts are so big!! It will probably need rebushing as well as a full strip clean and inspection. Be careful when letting down clock springs then things are lethal and will happily rip your finger and/or break a few teeth on the odd wheel. Only try removing the mainspring if you have the kit, I don’t at the moment so I take mine to my smith to take out and install new ones on any clock movements that I work on ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRANSPORTER 1 Posted January 21, 2019 Sorry for the late reply, I was in need of a wheel for a smiths empire 3 train Westminster chime clock, was looking for just over a year for that one wheel, was searching the bay looking at every clock wheel sale and counting the teeth on each in every picture bloody tedious I can tell you, eventually I found a complete movement that I bought and took the wheel from that. Things take time I’m afraid, try 5 years for an original glycine dial to fit an AS1130 movement from a genuine Wermacht watch from WW2, now that was a long search!!!!
