I was wondering whether anyone could assist with some questions I have about my latest acquisition, which is a two train ‘Bravingtons Renown’ mantel clock - Pics attached I have done some reading about Bravingtons and believe they sourced movements from various suppliers, so I wondered whether anyone recognises this one. I have stripped and cleaned the movement and the clock is now running well, but there are a couple of dodgy brass springs that I would like to replace. I haven’t found anything suitable searching the internet so I wondered does anyone know of a supplier that might help. Last question is about the veneer on the case, it is generally in reasonable condition but there are a couple of patches on the top where the veneer has lifted. So far, I have tried to reactivate the existing adhesive by heating from below and above with a hair drier, then clamping for a day or two. It has improved slightly but the bulge is still visible. I’d be grateful for any advice if anyone has dealt with this sort of repair before. -

Hi some pictures o& the movement and case would be appreciated so we can ascertain what the problem is you are having in fitting the movement. Thank you. -
Thank you very much,T. I'll try turning the arbour from the clock face end very carefully in case I haven't reassembled the suspension block correctly (I had to make up a suspension spring using remnants of a broken one as I haven't been able to find an exact replacement online). -

Hi murks a picture of the front as well would help, By the size of the plate it was stuck to I would suggest a coin cell, 2030, 2015 all depends on the height of the cell. And the space when the back is fitted. 3 volt. -

We seem to have gone a bit quiet on this ? Do we all agree to ask Mark for some input on this matter, or is no-one really bothered.
