Question
I have a black gilbert mantle clock time and strike with 6 pillars which is missing the gong,bell and hammer.Any idea of the type of gong and hammer and size of bell I need to get? It has arabic numerals and is marked Gilbert clock co on movement so I assume it is a later model? Thanks.
the hammer will be a problem because it is part of the internals of the clock mechanism.
Bell? not sure they had a bell at all - a gong, yes
kinda like: http://www.merritts.com/store4/public/product.aspx?ProductID=81898&SearchText=p-...
or search on Ebay--but the hammer is a wire that is part of a shaft in the lower middle of the clock- and if missing you will need a pro to repair it.
can you attach a photo of the back of the mechanism?
