Where can I read about clock movements for a grandfather clock I would

should I look for, I.E. cable drive, chain drive? Where is the best

just the movement. I don't know yet what I want to spend but I don't
have unlimited resources.

If I really wanted it to keep time I would put a quartz clock in it
and put a phony pendulum mechanism in there.

Both of which are sold by Klockit and others, for just that purpose.

Some places to look:
