Question

Urgos movement
Hi Ken,
  I have a George Washington limited edition grandfather clock (urgos uw030)  The cable on the right side-facing the clock-is broken.  can you please help me step by step with the cable replacement?  I don't know how to remove the drum or cable guard, (cast).  I will have to measure the length and order a new brass cable.  I have enclosed a picture that may be helpful.  I will appreciate any help from you.
                    Thanks,
                    Stephen

The drum and cable guard are not removable

the cable replacement will be a challenge worthy of a professional


the dial needs to be remaoved, etc


something you really want to get involved in?
