Thank you for your recommendations of other listings, of the names of clock dealers, and where else to look in the world. One woman even thanked me for sharing my story – in fact I should be (and have) been the one to thank her for her time. I had offers of checking with a relative that may have one, an offer to pray for me, wishes of luck and requests for updates. That the two people I had e-mailed previously did not yell at me for my error (when you post on Craigslist each listing has its own anonymous contact e-mail, which means that since I see hundreds of listings a day, they all run together, and my e-mail does not see that anonymous e-mail from yesterday is the same as today – since it’s not). What was remarkable was that each of these individuals chose to respond to a request for something that they obviously did not have, and therefore could not sell to me. That’s not what’s remarkable – generally speaking my hopes are high and my expectations are low when it comes to the e-mails the pop up in my inbox and the strange area codes that I now answer on my cell phone without thinking twice. No one had my clock – in fact none of the clocks were even close, all being much larger or smaller, older or newer, or some combination thereof. Today’s batch of e-mails, phone calls, and voice-mails were remarkable. Thanks all! I’m sure that Tracey will appreciate any help you can give her (comment here and I will forward your replies to her). The part we’re looking for is Movement E, if anyone knows where I could find it, we’d be thrilled. Now we’re just trying to find the (working) replacement parts in the hopes of getting the clock running again. It’s the sentimental value of the clock, combined with some yahoo who stole from a elderly woman with Altzheimer’s that really upsets us. Now my Grandmother’s clock (a gift from my now deceased Grandfather) still doesn’t work, is missing parts, and she’s out a couple thousand dollars. Apparently, he owes a LOT of people either parts or their money back. Only he never came back with the parts, closed shop & changed his phone number.

She actually paid this guy’s airfare to come to her house, stay at a B&B, work on her clock, then fly back to his home, taking the parts back to his shop, and do the whole thing again in order to fix it. She lives in Alaska, and some rotten individual took parts that weren’t working out of her clock, claiming he would fix it for her. I’m trying to find someone to fix/replace parts on my Grandmother’s Ridgeway clock Model 127, with a serial number 4149. Someone else with a Ridgeway 127 in need of a little help – can anyone tell her where to get this movement? I have found some extremely ugly curio clocks (they look like grandfther clocks that were swallowed by a tacky mall display case), strangely painted grandfather clocks, gorgeous antiques, and other fascinating oddities that come out of people’s attics when they need money or are about to move. Armed with that information, I have scoured, e-mailed hundreds of advertisers across the United States and portions of Canada. A few months ago my uncle uncovered the original advertisement, with a picture and measurements of the clock.

I very much would like to have one of The Janet Radin clocks back in my family. It is a grandmother clock – smaller in stature than a grandfather clock at 76 inches tall. Ridgeway designed and named a clock for her memory, The Janet Radin. They were distributors for several clock companies, including Ridgeway. At the time of her death, in 1974, she and mygrandfather owned a clock shop. My grandmother was Janet Rosen, nee Radin.
