Question
Hello,
I'm needing to find a replacement set of chime rods for my grandfather clock. From what I can tell, it is a Adolf Herr Regensbuy 7c, from Germany. Where can I find a set of rods? One of them was broken when we moved it across country, and then I accidently broke another one. The longest rod is 26" 4 on one side of the block and 8 on the other. It is a 3 chime. Thank you.

You can acquire the parts you need from a clock materials supply houses, most deal exclusively with the trade.  I will provide you with the names of three houses that sell to the general public as well.  Merritt's Antiques, located In Pa., <merritts.com).  Ronell Clocks, located in Or., <ronellclock.com>.  TimeSavers, located in Az., <timesavers.com>.  Contact either of these firms, you can rely on whatever they tell you.  If i may be of further assistance please contact me, regards WJP
