Question
Where would I find a pendulum for a Linden Anno 1750 Saw Clock?
Thanks

Answer
Hi Cheryl,

I'm afraid this is going to be a hard item to find. This is an older clock, and the "Linden" brand name has gone through several ownerships. The most recent information I have is that it is owned by Seth Thomas, which is in turn owned by Colibri Corporation. It is extremely unlikely that this company will have this part available.

Your two best chances are probably watching collector clock sites like Ebay for a "parts clock" like yours with a pendulum, or having a clockmaker fabricate a new pendulum for you. In the latter case, the pendulum would not be identical in appearance to the original, but would be fully functional.  http://www.clockmasteronline.com
