Supplier for Clock hands

Dec 13, 2005 8 Replies

I'll spare you the details,



but I had a clock with a quartz movement which didn't work. I know have a new movement, but in the process of getting it, have lost the original hands.



I have gotten some replacements, but SWMBO has declared them so ugly, she'd rather put the clock in a cupboard as she can't bear to look at it!



Result!



However, i'd like to get some hands to match the originals if I can.



As best I can remember, they were;



Short (45mm from centre of spindle to end of the longer hand).



Black.



Ornate/pretty (Pierced & antique looking)



Anyone any ideas where I could buy one set of these cheaply, or does anyone have a set they could send me in return for a little beer money?



Cheers



You can make your own using some thin black plastic, or card, and attaching to the existing hands.

Like this (although these might be a little long)?

Actually, the long hand might be 35mm rather than 45, i'll check tonight.

Maplin's certainly used to sell movements and hands - they probably still do.

You need hands.......................
