    Default Good quality clock movemnt

    Hi Gents,
    I am in the market for a clock movement to replace a failing one.
    Its the common 55 x 55 mm square jobby, powered by a single AA battery.

    I am reluctant to buy something off ebay as I don't know the quality of the product.
    I see Carbatec sell some, but they look very similar to the ebay items and I have no idea of the quality at all.
    I want a silent movement. Can anyone recommend a particular supplier or brand?
    Happy to spend a reasonable amount on a good product.

    Stevd

    I am thinking about making my first clock and I was thinking about buying the parts from 'let's make time' in Brisbane. I have never done it before but they seem to be specialists so I presume they stay in business by having the correct balance between price and quality. Maybe give them a call.
