These two weight, chain driven units were very popular in the clock world but they are now obsolete. ### What to do? We can [restore the clock movement](https://www.clockworks.com/clock-repair/mechanical-clock-movement-restoration.html) for you. However this is expensive and you would still be left with an old movement. It will cost around $500 and we will clean oil bush and polish the pivots. Test it and ship it back in about a month or two. This would be the best way to get the clock running if there was no alternative. ### The best alternative There is a clock movement in the [241 series](https://www.clockworks.com/clock-movement/hermle-clock-movement-241.html) that can be adapted to fit. The closest equivalent to that movement would be the [Hermle 241-080](https://www.clockworks.com/product/new-241-080-clock-movement-by-hermle). The only difference with this unit compared to your old unit is it will come with a bell on the top. This is instead of having a [coil gong](https://www.clockworks.com/product/coil-gong) (or bells) on the back side of the movement. So you would remove the [coil gong](https://www.clockworks.com/product/coil-gong) from the clock case because it no longer need it. This new [241-080 Hermle clock movement](https://www.clockworks.com/product/new-241-080-clock-movement-by-hermle) will come with [chains](https://www.clockworks.com/product/clock-chain-by-movement-maker), [hand nut](https://www.clockworks.com/product/german-hand-nuts), [leader](https://www.clockworks.com/product/clock-pendulum-leader), and [suspension spring](https://www.clockworks.com/product/clock-pendulum-suspension-spring). ### Bell Strike The new unit also comes with a bell on top included and installed, so now the clock will have a bell strike clock instead of a gong strike clock. The [clock weights](https://www.clockworks.com/clock-parts/clock-weights.html) and [pendulum](https://www.clockworks.com/clock-parts/clock-pendulums.html) and clock hands will all the same as it was and these parts will work on the clock. The bell strike sounds nice, it is more popular compared to the [coil gong](https://www.clockworks.com/product/coil-gong). It is still best to get the new Clock movement 241-070 and 241-040 instead of chasing the old one. To have the old one overhauled instead would cost 2-3 times the price of the new one, and would still not last 25-30 years like the new one would. You get a brand new unit instead of a shined up old unit for a fraction of the price. Comes with instructions and support from a family with 100 years of [clock making and clock repairing](https://www.clockworks.com/clock-repair/mechanical-clock-movement-restoration.html). * A fraction of the price of a [restoration](https://www.clockworks.com/clock-repair/mechanical-clock-movement-restoration.html) * Should last 25-30 years, a [restoration](https://www.clockworks.com/clock-repair/mechanical-clock-movement-restoration.html) would not * Instructions and expert support * [Hermle Clock Movement](https://www.clockworks.com/clock-movement/hermle-clock-movement.html) of Germany [](/pics/pics-hermle-clock-movement/241/241explosion.jpg)
