Clocks, Watches/Pendulum leader

Question
Mr Perkins,
I am trying to get my parents old grandfather running. Continental Clock, Westminster tubular chimes, Jauch 75 movement. I seem to be missing the pendulum leader (hanger). Its about 7" long with a beat adjustment wheel about 6" below the suspension spring and cheap wood pendulum. I looked in the latest time savers catalogue but couldn't find anything that looks like it would fit. Any ideas about where to get a replacement?

Answer
I would have referred you to Timesavers as a logical source.  That having failed try these firms.   Merritt's Antiques, <www.merritts.com>     Ronell Clocks  <www.ronell.com>  If none of the catalogs depict the item you need, I suggest you talk personally to one of the countermen at one or more of these businesses.  Regards WJP
