    Anyone got brass balls... (for a smiths mantle clock)

    Quite a long-shot but I was hoping there may be an enthusiast or two for mid-century Smiths clocks here on TZ.

    I've recently refurbished a great very jet age Smiths mantle clock, carefully dismantling the worn and overwound mechanism, and replacing it with a modern quartz module, all totally reversible I hasten to add! It looks lovely and of course now keeps perfect time, but unfortunately the clock is missing one of the (about 8mm diameter) small brass balls used as feet, and I hoped someone here might have a suggestion where I would find one, or even better have one they could sell me.

    Clock looks the same as this one...

    If you give it a confirmed measuring and take one off to see what thread size holds it on I can probably make you one. I have some brass rod I can round off and then drill and tap.
