There may still be parts around for it. I should probably check, but I'm not really looking for another project to add to the list.

B.W. Harmond there's some around you could find one for parts, then take it somewhere and have them do the work.
I find it interesting about the amount of work that went into one of these back in 1860 when Elgin started.
incase you don't know that watch was made about 1898
