Good evening my name is Dave and I have always been the practical diy fanatic of the family as such anything mechanical will always pique my interest from clocks to cars , as a result of this I appear to have inherited 3 clocks in assorted states of disrepair, what I believe to be a gustav becker 400 day anniversary glass dome clock serial no 112904 presented to my great grandfather in 1902 a brass faced long case clock from my aunt she inherited it in the 1950s and a small mantle clock with a ceramic face , I am going to start on the gustav  becker which is black with soot and tarnish missing the pendulum spring and dome if I can get these I have started to thoroughly clean and put together but may ask if anyone out there could set up and calibrate and once complete I will move onto the next probably the brass faced long case ,   any help in locating parts and finding someone to complete set up will be great fully appreciated 

thank you for reading IMG_3506.thumb.jpeg.0f0f1106e6f1f0b0666238a11cdd7461.jpeg

Welcome to the forum.   Nice selection of clocks keep you busy for a while I have a few of the 400 day variety and have done a  Becker before. Not too difficult and time consuming to set up. They must be level or they won’t run looking at your pictures, without counting. It’s an eight column pundulum .

Good evening and thanks for the welcome , does anyone know Is there anywhere in the uk I may get the pendulum spring with the shoulder attached for the Becker so I can at least see if this would run , and do I buy a reproduction dome or try and find an old one on the internet ? 
many thanks in advance

Cousins would be your best option if you know what size you need.
