Clocks, Watches/Emperor clock

Question
We built a model 110 clock from a kit. It is missing the hour rack assembly. Where can we get this part ?

Answer
Most Emperor clocks have Jauch movements in them. Jauch went out of business many years ago and parts are not available any more. I would search eBay for a movement or parts. There are a lot of old movements out there and the rack is not a part that wears out so a used one should be as good as new.
Otherwise you can contact some repair people who have old movements for parts. Quite often Jauch movements are replaced with Hermle movements and the repair person keeps the old Jauch movement for parts.
I hope this helps you.
