Question
I have a Grand Father Clock that my wife purchased several years ago that has stopped working.  The movement has the following: 77 Emil Schemeckenbecher 451-050.  The clock kept time very good for a mechanical movement.  Where can I buy a replacement?

Answer
Hermle made the movement in 1977-----451-050 is the # but you need the cm length of the pendulum - also stamped on the back of the brass plate of the mechanism.(probably 85/94/100/or 114cm)
