All you need to do is make the box that fits behind the dial. Depending on your wood-working skills you need to make a simple square box with an access door one side and a door on the bottom to adjust the pendulum. On some examples the bottom of the box was curved to match the dial surround. What is being offered is a cable driven movement, wooden dial surround, dial (with flaking)and hands. You will have to supply the box behind the dial and a pendulum, which is available from clock parts suppliers; note the gut has failed as well. Height 16Ó $150-$250
