My Banjo Clock

This New Haven Banjo clock has been handed down through my family for many years. It use to work perfectly until we moved to Florida. I pulled a U-Haul trailer and it must have fallen some how.
Anyway, the glass face is busted out and the clock will not run. I think it needs a new mechanism. I have done some web research without much success for parts and am wondering if anyone out there can give me a heads up for parts.
i really would like to get this beautiful old clock running on all 8 cylinders again. Pappy

That's beautiful, Pap!

Many years ago I was collecting old mantle clocks and wall-hangers, and I even got into cleaning up the insides as well, but I'm far from being an authority on them.

You might check Clockparts.com and Clockworks.com - they have lots of parts, books and (I think) even help forums.

Good luck with it!

ETA: I think that's a Seth Thomas? If so, your odds of finding parts are better than for a less-popular make.
 
Nice! Getting it tick-tocking again could be a clockwork orange but a good project.
