I'm looking for the best source for clock parts. Either mail order/internet of local to Minneapolis, MN.

I know Ken has a big box of the stuff, but I hear that the prices are outrageous ;)

Peter,

Don't know if it is the best, but Klockit (http://www.klockit.com) has a pretty good selection.

Peter,

I've ordered from clockparts.com in the past and have been happy with the selection and prices. I guess it depends on what you are looking for - I picked up insert fit-ups.

I've used 'Klockit" for years, even some of their high$$ Grandfather works. All good stuff: their 'Atomic' series are great! And of course the electronic chimes........(in a shop clock???)

Try S. Larose, www.slarose.com. Good on line store and a great catalog with any and every thing you could ever want.

Peter,

If you go to this link http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/pages/w00125.asp you'll find an article by C.H. Becksvoort on his Shaker wall clock. In the article, he has a link to a page "A movement for every price." I couldn't figure out how to paste it here, sorry. Anyway, click here and he gives a number of clock part companies with web addresses along with some advice on quality.

Noah, your "Klockit" link isn't working or didn't work for me.

I just used Klockit.com in getting the parts for a couple of the Woodsmith Mantel Clocks I made for XMAS gifts this year. I was very pleased with both the prices and the service.

www.klockit.com (http://www.klockit.com) is the source I have used most.

I do have a bunch of quartz movements if that is all you are looking for. PM me if that is what you are looking for. Prices are pretty darn close to zero :)
