QUESTION: Dear Michael Radi,

I have a broken movement FHS 351-050. could you kindly advice where I can get a exploded view of the movement.  I have the first wheel broken that gear with the drum which is on the right hand side of the movement (looking from the front).  Also could you kindly advice, if possible, of any company that sell such parts and ship to europe?

ANSWER: It's a pretty common movement and parts are readily available. You can try www.blackforestimports.com
If you have problems doing business with them I can source it for you.

QUESTION: Thanks very much for your prompt reply.  Do you have an exploded view of the movement so that I could check the correct name / part number of the specific wheel I need.

Answer
No, I don't have an exploded view but here is now to describe it.
There are three "sides" to your movement: Time side, Chime side and Strike side.
The canister with the mainspring in it is called the barrel. You can purchase this with or without the mainspring already installed. There is a number on the barrel cap. Use that number to identify it.
The gear that the barrel drives is called the second wheel.
Let me know if you need more help
