Reply With Quotegreat find.
You might remember a few weeks ago I bought a longcase clock from the local car boot sale.
Fiddled with it and got it working OK.
Only thing that annoyed me was that the minute hand is broken.
I enquired as to the cost of getting a replacement minute hand made.
£100 plus VAT.
Downed a couple of Valium.
Last week I bought a box of clock hands from the same guy who sold me the clock.
Well would anyone believe that on looking through the box of hands this morning I found an exact match:
Now that's what I call a miracle !
Just setting the new hand so that the clock strikes exactly on the hour.
There was only one poor car boot sale this morning because of the rain.
Bought a little travel alarm and some engineers pliers. That and a few super 8 movies and a pocket telescope.
Rolex and Rembrandts next week maybe.

great find.
Almost forgot !
I found this clock case today also.
Hoping the movement will turn up next time !!
Hole diameter 12.30cms.

Interesting finds, as always. :-)

Some nice finds there.
You all clearly frequent car boot sales of a much higher calibre than I do!
anything when I go. I guess I don't go early enough.
Well I guess I did pick up a lovely (if slightly ratty) Voightlander B camera last time I went to one for £6, but that was a very good day.
