Good evening my name is Dave and I have always been the practical diy fanatic of the family as such anything mechanical will always pique my interest from clocks to cars , as a result of this I appear to have inherited 3 clocks in assorted states of disrepair, what I believe to be a gustav becker 400 day anniversary glass dome clock serial no 112904 presented to my great grandfather in 1902 a brass faced long case clock from my aunt she inherited it in the 1950s and a small mantle clock with a ceramic face , I am going to start on the gustav Ā becker which is black with soot and tarnish missing the pendulum spring and dome if I can get these I have started to thoroughly clean and put together but may ask if anyone out there could set up and calibrate and once complete I will move onto the next probably the brass faced long case , Ā  any help in locating parts and finding someone to complete set up will be great fully appreciatedĀ 

thank you for readingĀ IMG_3506.thumb.jpeg.0f0f1106e6f1f0b0666238a11cdd7461.jpeg

Welcome to the forum. Ā  Nice selection of clocks keep you busy for a while I have a few of the 400 day variety and have done a Ā Becker before. Not too difficult and time consuming to set up. They must be level or they won’t run looking at your pictures, without counting. It’s an eight column pundulum .Ā

Good evening and thanks for the welcome , does anyone know Is there anywhere in the uk I may get the pendulum spring with the shoulder attached for the Becker so I can at least see if this would run , and do I buy a reproduction dome or try and find an old one on the internet ?Ā 
many thanks in advanceĀ

Cousins would be your best option if you know what size you need.
