    Manta A clock

    Manta A clock, I also make GT clocks. The only problem is that I can't get no mechanism anymore I always used.

    Like I mentioned, I'll have some trouble finding the right mechanical clockworks. (have nothing more left) The length of the axle must have the right size (on witch the needles or blades are mounted) Don't know the the english words for that, those things to point the hours, minutes and seconds.

    Theo;
    To help you, the "axle" is called a "shaft" and the pointers are called "hands" Your english is very good, considering I work with Bosnians all day How long does the "shaft" have to be? Maybe some clockworks can be found here in the US to the specifications you need.

    Here in the states, the local Wal*Mart or craft store sells clock motors with hands for about $5. Try walmart.com
