Where can I get a coil for one of these movements please. Don

Unfortunately, replacement colis are not available, and repair requires highly specialised equipment. One possibility is to replace the faulty coil with a low voltage coil as described in http://sound.westhost.com/clocks/ocm.html

I don’t know if this is the correct place to go for this sort of thing, but I have an Elco Synchronous mantel clock, I do not know the model name, but I have seen it on another website with these details (apologies for the long winded bit that shall follow) “An Elco synchronous electric mantel clock. The Bakelite case is 5Å”
high 8″ wide 2Å” deep. The dial is 3Å” diameter with black Arabic numerals and
hands. There is an aperture for a tell tale at 12 o’clock. The dial is marked ‘Elco
SYNCHRONOUS’ and ‘MADE IN ENGLAND’.” It needs a 200-250 volt A.C. 50 cycles wire, does anyone know where i can find such a wire, I’d love to get it working again, Thanks, Ash.
