Would you still have copies of these Mason & Sullivan plans? Thanks. Don

I am trying to build this clock. I have all the parts.Need plans. Please respond.

Google "clock case plans"

My father built a mantle clock that came with Mason Sullivan clock movement. It has three modes, silent, Westminster and two others. I can figure out how to get clock started. There is no pendulum. There appears to be, what i would call, a starting wheel at the top of the movement in the back. Can not get it keep moving? Can you advise?

Proofread your post before posting.

Take the clock to a clock repair shop.

Note that any clock needs a source of energy to run, whether it is the energy in a falling weight, the energy in a wound spring, or a battery.

OR, water. I bought my son a clock that runs off or water, just sitting in its small reservoir.

Or a wall outlet. ;-)

Or a wall outlet in a small reservoir. (Use a GFCI) ;-)

I would probably class that as "energy in a falling weight", or more technically gravitational potential energy.

Actually no, the water just sits still.

The water doesn't just "sit there".

Actually it sits there silently screaming as it slowly gives up all of its energy, knowing that it is destined to be dumped and forgotten about at some point. It can only hope that the user waters a plant or something similar so that can continue to have a reason to exist. So sad. So lonely.

There is no sound or screams silent or otherwise from the clock and or the water.

Tree Hugger! ;~)

Look closely:

I hate trees.

The first one is my van at work, the second is SWMBO's CR-V, in our driveway, this past Sunday during a 60 - 70 MPH windstorm.

The van was totaled, no questions asked.

The CR-V is at the collision shop being evaluated. With the price of used cars today, the Ins Co's initial assessment is to repair it. If the collision shop finds extension hidden damage, it may end up as totaled, but the assessor doesn't think it'll be that bad.

Totaled does not always mean totaled. Typically it means it will cost more to repair than to buy a like vehicle. If the vehicle is not damaged beyond the possibility of a successful repair you can take the payment and pay the difference to complete the repairs. And quite often it does not take much more money to to do the repair.

Why not take the money and buy a comparable vehicle? You know your vehicles service records and its history.

I've been though this more than once. Totaled typically means that the cost to repair is greater than 70-75% of the cash value of the vehicle involved.

Yes, in some cases it's that easy, in some cases - especially on a vehicle with a low cash value - it doesn't make financial sense. In addition, depending on the age of the vehicle, you may have to deal with a salvage title, which can be real PITA. (I would not have to in this case, which is a good thing.)

Except that you don't get the full payment if they deem it totaled and you buy it back. You get the repair cost estimate minus the salvage value minus your deductible. Depending on where those numbers land, your out-of-pocket expenses could be pretty high.

Well, in the case of the 2014 incident, I doubt I ever would have found a "comparable vehicle". It was a 2004 Odyssey with 160K on it. Most 10 YO vehicles with 160K on them don't look as good as my 10 YO vehicles with 160K on them. I'm just a tad anal when it comes to interior, exterior and engine compartment cleanliness. Unfortunately, even if a 10 YO vehicle with 160K is in really good condition, the cash value is (was) still so low that you'll never get what you had for that money. I've been through that twice.

Fast forward to 2022...

Based on this current situation your suggestion may not come into play. Two key factors: the current estimate of the repair and the price of used cars these days. We'll have to see what the repair shop says after they start taking the hatch off, etc.

According to the Ins Co, the current cash value of SWMBO's 2011 CR-V EX with 112K miles is...wait for it...$13.8K, taxes included. I was shocked. $9K would have been my estimate. (Remember my "cleanliness" comment above? $1100 of the $13.8K is a Condition credit because it's in better condition that most other vehicles in that space.)

The accessor's repair estimate is about $6K, nowhere near the 70-75% "totaled" amount. However, the accessor does not want the shop to order any parts until they've checked the vehicle for unseen structural damage. It could still end up being totaled. I should know more next week. Maybe $13.8K will get us a "comparable vehicle", but probably not.

Current local availability for a CR-V EX starts at a 2014 with 106K for $17K plus tax and title, probably pushing $19K. Not sure about it's overall condition though.
