Just try googling for "movements for vienna clock" and you'll find a load of possibilities. Just be careful about where the supplier is located and what the currency and customs complications might be. One of the real beauties I found was a high-end German Hermle with a price tag of $1175 but that was Australian dollars. If you find that price shocking you might start with the eBay listings. The last time I bought something similar I remember the price as being around $325 but that was 30 years back.

Hi John, I know this post has been kicking around for a while but I too am in need of the 7672 Vienna Regulator instructions. Would you mind sending them to me as well?

If you still want them, I purchased the trim kit with plans, and never built the clock. Let me look for them if you are still interested. My email address is in the system, so I think you can respond to this and reach me.

I just got back from dental appointment with the bad news that a cracked tooth will require a root canal. I will send you a copy of the plans, but I don't want to sell the kit, as I still want to build the clock one day. It is packed away in a storage unit, so it might be a day or two before you hear back from me.

Hello! My husband purchased (probably in the 1980's) the plans for a long Mason & Sullivan Vienna Regulator clock. I would like to post a picture to understand if we all are talking about the same clock--I have no plan number--but cannot figure out how to post a picture. It is a long simple design. The plans themselves are very simple--not extremely detailed--and there doesn't seem to be any info included on how to mount the works. While my husband decided to build this clock after M & S closed, he was able to source the clock works from someone in England. In the meantime he cut wood and let the project sit due to life. He is now deceased and I am having the clock built to honor his memory. However, I do not have hardware for this clock, nor do I have a clock works number to give to my woodworker so he knows how to set the supports for the clock works. Is anyone able to help me get the information I need (find a place to purchase the necessary hardware; get info on how to set the clock works support) as well as show me a picture of the clock being discussed?

I would be more than happy to share the plans that I have (when I get them back from the my woodworker) for your help. Thank you! S.

Hi Cole, Apologies for not getting back to you. If you have not found a copy of the plans yet, I'll go to Staples to see if they can make a copy of them. I would still like to keep my copy in hopes of making one myself one day.
