Clocks, Watches/hermle parts

Question
I need the Hammer assembly for hermle 451-050 94cm. The brass triggers are worn because when the movement was built the cams were not lined up properly they were to close to the edge and the seel cams chipped away the brass after a few years. So the hammers donot go back far enough for proper sound strike
Where can I get Parts only.

Answer
most any clock repair shop will have a lot of "pulled" dead movements they would love to part with cheap- call around- the 94cm is irrelevant and any 351 or a 451 movement will do.

Brand new the complete hammer assembly sells for $15-20 (but unavailable to non-pro people)  You should be able to get an entire  old movement with a good hammer assembly for about the same.
