Wakmann Aircraft Clock

[Philtheflyer]

Hello all, having a really bad day.  Just broken the winder off a Wakmann aircraft clock trying to fit it into my old Cessna 195.  I bought it in America and have no idea what to do to get it fixed, does anyone have any suggestions of who to call?

the wording is interesting I assume that's where you're not located correct

it have to find somebody who specializes in aircraft clocks or someone perhaps it does aircraft instruments. You could search online you might get lucky and find somebody.

who could search online you might get lucky find a website like this but troubling their website appears to be a little out of date?

next link confirms what I suspected it may be a US company but they don't manufacture their own movements. It's possible low that they have adopted a standard case style expressive as military's back but yours looks newer than that in other words the earlier ones conceivably could been swapped into any case of the right size perhaps.

a discussion and a replacement option.

here's an interesting one they do repairs it may be possible to get just the part you need but you'll have to take the movement out. They also have a caution on what happens if you picked the wrong repair person.

didn't find an address in New York but it doesn't look like it's been used since 2008.

Then you can try eBay if you knew which movement and so forth you had for instance here's somebody with a stem

is quite a few clocks also on eBay worst-case could just buy a new clock for parts but you do want to make sure you get the right one it looks like they had quite a few different models and styles.

Yes, I should have been more clear.  I bought it on ebay in America, but I live in the UK.  Does anyone know of someone in the UK that could repair this?  I've calmed down a bit since yesterday as through a magnifying glass, it looks like it was an old break as there is oxidation on part of the break over many years.  I guess I need a new shaft, but it's way beyond my capabilities, aircraft are simple by comparison!
