Lithium and rechargeable batteries are meant for “high-drain” devices, such as digital cameras, etc. Lithium powered or re-chargeable batteries will cause your clock to malfunction, or not function at all. Alkaline batteries are the only type of battery that should be used in clocks. Other brands, such as Energizer, have extra plastic coating on the negative end of the battery, which can cause clocks to malfunction or not work properly at all. We recommend using Rayovac or Duracell brand. **When choosing the proper batteries for your clock, please consider the following information: There are many brands of alkaline batteries available on the market today, but there are several brands out there that just don’t perform well in clocks. Second hands are also sold separately and can be purchased HERE.Extra large hands are available on our site as well. The price will be adjusted as you choose the style(s) you want from the drop down menu. Regular size (1″-6″) Hour and Minute hands are sold separately as a pair above (please see pictures).Will not run hands larger than 12″ (measurement is from the center of the mounting hole to the end of the minute hand only).If you want to run a single hook wood stick pendulum with a larger bob we recommend our German Chime Movement (MPC-320). We recommend our empty pendulum case (code#MCA-25) or our Heavy Duty Pendulum Drive Mechanism (code#MPD-80) if your are running a larger fancy Lyre pendulum. Please be aware that this movement cannot run the larger wood stick pendulums or Lyre pendulums used on Grandfather and Grandmother floor clocks. The bob should be no more than 4.5″-5″ in diameter. This movement can run up to a 29″ pendulum with a light weight metal rod and bob. The rod is perforated every 1″ on the back so you can bend and snap it to the length you need before sliding on the bob. Includes a 16″ adjustable pendulum rod and your choice of a 2-1/8″, 2-3/4″, or 3-1/2″ bob.Choose from 4 Shaft Lengths: Extra Small – 5/16″ threaded length, 5/8″ overall | Small – 7/16″ threaded length, 3/4″ overall | Long – 11/16″ threaded length, 1″ overall | Extra Long – 15/16″ threaded length, 1-1/4″ overall.No volume control knob but sound can be amplified by attaching a tube (paper towel roll, etc) to the end with the speaker.Please be aware that if you mount this inside a solid wood clock case the volume may be too low to hear. Great for mounting on the back of a clock that is open. Full chime and counting strike on the hour.Chiming 1/4 of the chime at 15 minutes, 1/2 of the chime at 30 minutes and 3/4 of the chime at 45 minutes.We also carry the non-pendulum version on our site (see related items below). It has a Westminster chime with good sound quality. This is a quality movement, made by Takane.
