I needed to remove the hands from Carrera CV2011 and the pipe pulled away from the rivit joint. I both broke it and while handling with intentions to pull out the staking set, I lost it.

Can I find a tiny diameter hollow 'steel pipe', to make it fit? I do not have a lathe....

Find a donor sweep second hand and use it's pipe? I like having spares in the next similar situation. What would You do?

I found these collect things with very small pipes which could be pivot or jewel gauges or a piece of a pivot burnishing set up. I am tempted to take a suitable diameter core out and use it on my broken seconds hand.

Just saying I may look for anything in my tools boxes to get a small enough 'pipe'. Any suggestions?

      Questions about my Bravingtons Renown Mantel Clock

      By Michael20 · Posted

      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.

      First pendulum clock tinker

      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.
