Clock movements
Where can I read about clock movements for a grandfather clock I would
like to build? What are the good, better, best brands? What features should I look for, I.E. cable drive, chain drive? Where is the best place to buy a movement from? I know you can spend a lot of money on just the movement. I don't know yet what I want to spend but I don't have unlimited resources. Andy Arhelger |

Klockit is the one I remember. They're all pricey. Don't think there's
any less than 300, and you can go way past a thousand. Googling on klockit should put it at the top of the page. You can also google the rec for grandfather movements and come up with a list. |

They explain the different mechanisms, and how quality/price can be varied by construction techniques. With a little of that knowledge, a lot of the commercial products become a lot clearer. |
