Question
Dear Sir,
I am seaching for the clockwork of a LFS 1836 type 714
DRSM 528470
this is a Westminster  made by Lorentz Furtwangler en Sons
probably between 1868 and 1900
Yours sincerely
f.g.pasma

Answer
Sorry, can't help you.  Were I in your position and REALLY wanted to get this baby up and running, I would take whatever parts of the movement are remaining and essentially build me a clock from them.  While it would be nice to have machinery available to do this task, every part can be fabricated by hand.  It takes time, patience, and skill that you develop as you go along.  Regards WJP
