   I bought a lot of clock motors along with many other items from Klockit when teaching shop and had great luck dealing with the company.  

   Go to Google and type in clock kits and you'll find other suppliers.

   Thanks for both of the responses.  I need a 6" square clock face.  Having a bit of trouble finding one.  I don't know if I'm having trouble navigating the web sites or am just a bit misinformed with clocks.  I'll try calling one of the vendors.

   Thanks again.

   Try Merritts. They have a large selection of products.

   I went to Klockit's site and couldn't find any 6" faces either.   Also googled clock faces with no luck.  I can't find my Klockit catalog - which is about six years old - but I think they did have square faces in several sizes. 

   Give 'em a call tomorrow.  They used to have a good customer service dept.  Hope they still do.

   Good luck.   And let us know if you find what you need.

   Phil,

   Drat, I'm right sorry to hear that.  Guess I don't need to keep their "Keep Book" any longer.

   Thanks,

   Some thirty six years ago I built a Mason and Sullivan clock case and was hoping to build some more since I am retiring.  The wife was going to bring the pickup so we could take it home from shop she called and said "my water broke and I think you had better find another ride."  A darling little girl came to live with us that night.  Can you guess where that clock is now?.  I was going to build some more, one for us and one for our son. but I guess they are out of business also?  Will have to pick another source for parts.

   Hi Tinkerer2,Mason and Sullivan used German movements made by Hermle. One of the best and inexpensive sources for these movements is Mark Butterworth of Butterworth clocks. In fact for most GF's that I service with the Hermle movements, some 20 to 25 years old, I can more inexpensively install the same movement brand new with a two year guarantee from Mark B. than to repair the old movement. About half price of my restoration labor. Mark can be contacted through his website at http://www.butterworthclocks.com/. For hands, dials and such, TimeSavers, Merritts or Empire are my choices...Good news is you have a ready source of parts, but if it is case parts, I can't make much of a recommendation. Hope this helps a bit..best,
   Phil

   Second vote for http://www.clockprints.com.  It's a one-woman business, she creates the designs and prints them on high-quality archival paper, and can size them to fit your needs.

   All of the suggestions for clock parts are good.  In one case I could not find the proper face size so bought a different size and had "Staples" (office and copy store here in Northeast) put it on their scanner and scale it exactly to the size I wanted.  Had them put it on heavy bond and then glued that to backer.  Worked fine.
