Question
I have an emperor clock kit with a 300M movement.  The kit was purchased in 1978 and never finished.  Over time parts have been lost.  The movement is missing the pendulum, movement mount and chime rods.  the movement is an Erhard Jauch.  On the back of the movement is a marking "pendell 110 cm.  Are any of these parts still available or can they be substituted by other clock manufacturers?  Is this movement worth fixing (it has never been run) or would it be better to invest in a new movement?
Thank you very much!!
Jim

I suggest you contact Emperor clock company's customer service office.  <www.emperorclock.com>   For parts Emperor can't help you with visit the on line cataloge of TimeSavers, <timesavers.com>
Somewhere amongst my goodies I have a set of assembly instructions for the Emperor 300.  If you are willing to pay postage, copy costs etc., I could send you a copy, presuming of course that I could find it.  Regards WJP
