Question
My Kieninger  clock has 76R and 80 cm. on the back of the movement. I am in need of a 80 cm. replacement pendulum and bob. I have tried to order from Clockworks and Timesavers with no luck. Can you tell me where I can order this replacement part? I believe the hook on the end of the rod is a French hook. Thank you

Answer
Hello Craig,

I make my own pendulums and the hook can be shaped very crudely and still work.  You can find a local clocksmith to do this for you or try it yourself.  If timesavers dosent have them I just don't know who would since it has been many years since I bought one.  
 I do buy the pend balls and the threaded rod and regulator nuts from timesavers.  I use different wood trim from Lowes and plane it thin and come up with some very ornate sticks of the customer wants it

Sorry I could not be of more help.
