Clock rebuild kit?
Hey, my clock is broken. I took it apart and see that the coil is burned up and the coil spring on the pedulum is twisted badly and non-repairable.
Is there a rebuild kit for the old gear-movement clocks? (I know I could convert it to quartz, but I kinda like the "tick-tick" of the old ones.)

The Clock Works still has NOS Borg mechanical movements.

I rebuilt mine, installed it and it didn't work. I then took it out, rebuilt it and it DID not work. I then shipped it to Rogers clock to have it restored, rebuilt. I installed the DAMN thing and it did NOT work. What gives its driving me crazy.
