Question
Hi I have purchased a wall clock for my girl friend for x mas.It looks like a old clock.It says made in Korea on the face on the bottom.It is mechanical and winds up in two places.I do not have a key but found a way to wind it up anyway.One is for the chime and the other one is for the time.It is missing the pendulum so I used a piece of string and a socket to see if it worked.I am looking for the part and a key for it.Is there any way to find out when it was mad??It is a huge clock the face is 26 inches round and the base is even bigger.Looks like it was in a bus or train station.It is mechanical and has roman numerals on it.Any help is greatly appreciated Joe

Answer
Joe, I'm pretty sure your clock will use a #6 key. Most Korean movements do. I sell them for $2.95 + $4.74 shipping to any destination within the USA.
Here is a link to my keys:

The pendulum is harder to deal with. You will probably have to get it in pieces: Wood stick, top hanger, bob and threaded rating assembly. I can't tell how long it needs to be. Perhaps you can get an approximate length based on the clock case.
I would like to see a photo of the clock if possible.
