I hate too do this to a beautiful time piece but needs must as the devil wants. In order to fix one clock, I need spair parts, even for someone with alot of time of their hands I do not have the skills to make parts from scratch and even the clocksmith told me if they were to make them from scratch it would cost up to $1000 to fix a clock I bough for $75. So the only other option is buy another broken down clock for its works and salvage the working parts. Whats left I'll keep aside and restore it when a clock works goes on sale on ebay which is rare these days. For the time being and in order for this pretty case not to go to waste I'll convert it with a modern Quartz movement and restore its mechanical works when I can get the parts to restore it; its also missing a pendulum which is also problem as mantle clock works are rearer than wall clock works and pendulums are matched to the works.
