Joseph T. CollinsUrgos Platform Escapement
I just picked up a neat little Urgos Art Decco clock on Ebay. It has a platform escapement and presently the balance staff is broken. Does anyone know where I might have the escapement repaired? I don't do balance staffs

Joseph T. CollinsThanks Kevin,
The ones they have are for fairly recent movements. My movement is was made in 1958.
I will eventually find someone to make a new staff for it.
Thanks again,
Joe
