Just what does the term new old parts
when looking for a clock movement
thank you
Gene

Answer
The parts were maufactured at the same time as the movement or later as an aftermarket replacement part.  IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED!!  Regards WJP

Thank you for the rating.  I do not understand the question accompanying that rating.  Are you inquiring about the value of the movement or what?  On my own initiative I hasten to tell you, in my opinion, most Jauch movements are inferior.  Unless the movement you discus be one of their superior models, I would advise staying clear of it.  Also if I were interested, I would want to know, is it complete?  Does it have its hands, cables/chains, pend spring etc.  If not it would not, in any way be a bargain.  In addition, you should consider the application to which you wish to apply this movement, is it indeed suitable?  What are the pendulum requirements?
Regards WJP
