Go on ebay. You can find working movements there. I had to replace a model 124 ST movement. I found one for about 80 bucks. You just have to search for a while.
I have been "into" clocks for a while and it was an obsession with me for a couple years (replaced by the 300SD) I have slimmed down my collection a lot over the past few years.
I had a couple ST mantle clocks, two or three 400 day anniversary clocks and others. One of my favorites is an electric Jefferson Magic Clock. It is the round gold one with no visible movement. (not a picture of my clock)
I want to get one of the Seth Thomas office clocks with the calendar movement. I always liked those.
