Question
Hi there, you answered my question regarding weights for my clock and recommended "Merritts", I called them and they were unable to tell me the correct weights, although if I found out what the correct weights were, they could probably sell me replacements. They suggested NAWCC.org which I tried but was unable to figure out how to ask a question. Do you have another suggestion as to how I can find out what the correct weights should be?   Clive

Answer
I am surprized at Merritt's, the ogee 30 hour allways take a 3 to 4 lb weight on either side.  I don't know what their current stock number is but I used to order their #CW-3 to use as replacements.  Frankly I would be a bit miffed at them for such a response.  Try TimeSavers as an alternative.  <timesavers.com>   Hope this does it for you, regards WJP
