Explanation of the Obsolete Parts Search Fee

The following is the explanation for the requirement of the obsolete parts search fee. It is a common situation while performing antique clock repair to find the part has become obsolete. This would mean it is no longer produced as a new item. In order to get a new part, manufacturing would need to be done or possibly found from an old unit. Here at Clockworks we have two or three shipping containers full of antique clock movements that have become quite a collection over the years. Chances are we have the exact same movement for parts as what you are looking for. However to organize and list these items online is not realistic.

More on the Fee

Often a part from an Antique clock movement would not cost very much. However our time away from repairs and sales to look through all the movements to find a specific part requires us to charge this fee for the search. In the past, we would just say that we did not have the part. Realistically, if we did a search we could actually come up with whatever part you may need often enough. So, instead of not bothering to look for the part, we charge this search fee so that we can account for our time away from doing other financial transactions.

With that being said, the cost of the part would be in addition to this fee. The cost for the actual part will be given upon finding the item. It is best to first email a picture of the clock movements back plate. Along with this, please also send a picture of the broken part or a description of the part in need. If there is a good chance we have it to offer, you will get an email with a link to pay for the search. Our email address is [email protected]
