I am sharing a photo of a clock movement we just did with our Zenith 1000 cleaner. It is not cheap at $55 per gallon, but it is waterless so no rust afterward guaranteed and it is the best on the market. Last a long time with good shelf life. No heavy ammonia smell. Match it with our Zenith 1001.
I see inquiries all time time on the message board about what is the “best” to use. What most people really mean is what is the cheapest.? One. Can think quality or think price, but not both. Contact us at [email protected]. Best shipping price packed 4 to a case is around $35 domestic delivery.

Time only sweep second quartz:

Check your inventory. We are running low on some hand shaft lengths. Getting anything out of China is sketchy with tariffs always up in the air. Our last shipment we got hit with 100% tariff. We are already out of the TOSH6, but you can replace it with the TP6 at only $1 more. At only $6 for the time only ad $7 for the time and pendulum we have the best pricing and selection. This is for the silent sweep. Second that people love.

Cuckoo movement update: I did a hard count on the backorders thus far for the R25 2 wt 19cm unit and we can accept orders for 50 more pieces and that allocation is filled. We should receive that in early September. After that it will be months. We have no advisory on the shipping of the R25L which is the 23.5cm version and are not accepting backorders. Price $95 for either.

As stated in our earlier post, we can custom make both the R25 and the R25L for immediate shipment and the price for each is $140 plus shipping.

I apologize that we cannot offer better news, but we are at the mercy of the manufacturer in Germany.

Another reminder, if the order is paid by Zelle the shipping is a flat $15 to US destinations.

Creating different pendulum lengths: although we stock the most common pendulum lengths for all the modern German clocks, we can match nearly every pendulum length that exists if you have an unusual ex*****on. Typically the surcharge is only $30.
The pendulum length is determined by the combination of the minute, 4th, and escape wheels. By changing those we change the pendulum length.

Time and strike cuckoo movements 2 weight. We do not know when the next supply will arrive but we do have a solution. If your clock case is not too small, you can get the 3 train movement with the dancer table and remove the table. The price is $140.
The part numbers are as follows:
19.1 cm pendulum R25/41S
23.5cm pendulum R25/51

I realize this is more than the 2 weight but if your customer is in a hurry, this is an alternative.
