Problem with the great wheel "Click" to Login or Register 
posted August 01, 2007 18:53
I have a clock on which the great wheel has slipped on the winding arbor so that it won't hold the spring tension. Is that easy to fix, or can anyone recommend where to send it to get it repaired, or would it be easiest to buy a replacement, but where?

G. Alan,
Can you post a picture? Attachment of the first wheel to the arbor is not universal. Replacement may be an option, if we could see what you have. Dimensions of the wheel, tooth count, diameter, etc would also be helpful.
Regards,
Dick
