Question
I inherited a Hamilton wall clock. I believe it was made in 1982.   It's 44" tall.  I would describe it as a grandfather clock that hangs on the wall.  The pendulum is approx. 28" long.  It is badly scratched.  I have the box that held the pendulum and it appears to have a part number (000679)on the box. How would find a replacement pendulum?

Answer
If not mistaken your Hamilton uses a Hermle movement.  If you could gain access to the back of the clock and send me all the data stamped upon the movements brass backplate I would be able to identify the specific movement and its pendulum requirements.  Regards WJP
