Good sources for clock mechanisms?

December 30, 2020 5:59 PM

I'm trying to fix a clock belonging to my parents. The clock requires a pendulum clock movement with a 1" shaft, but while I can find that kind of mechanism fairly easily and inexpensively, I would also like it to have chimes, and finding the three attributes in one mechanism has been difficult. I have searched eBay and Amazon and found this one option, which looks exactly like the old mechanism, but will cost $84.36(Cdn). Does anyone have any suggestions as to sources, either Toronto-area or online, where I can get a chiming pendulum clock movement with a 1" shaft for less?

I'm not sure if they have exactly what you're looking for but I used to get movements from Klockit many years ago.

I went to your link and it says it costs $57 cdn ($44 US). That may still be too expensive, but it is $27 less than before.

Though their website doesn’t mention selling parts, it might be worth contacting these folks - I found them knowledgeable and helpful on a clock question recently: https://www.theclockdepot.com/
