Restoring a Black Forest Organ Clock
By Mark Singleton

Hello Fellow MMD'ers,  I've recently acquired a Black Forest organ
clock, minus the actual wood plate clock.  Does anyone have a suitable
mechanism, or know of one?  It should be of wood plate construction,
of 30 hour duration and a seconds-beating pendulum, but not crucial,
and the bell and hammer assembly on the side of the mechanism as
opposed to the top.  Any help would be appreciated.

I would also like any pictures anyone has in their archive of any Black
Forest organ clock dials of any size or complexity, as this is missing
also.  If anyone has a large dial available, it would be incredible,
but failing that I need to have one built from scratch.

Thank you, and a Merry Christmas to all!

Mark Singleton
