I am looking at Klockit for an electronic movement and the associated
components. I have no problem finding he electronic movement, but it
seems hard to negotiate around their site to get the other components.
What do those of you that have built clocks find about Klockit? I am
looking for all their hands (more like is shown in the URL below), a
brass clock face and other hardware. Seems hard to find the other
components after you find the movement.
Here is what I want to build (not the specific stained glass design,
just the frame and clock face).

I like the brass face, but I can't find it at Klockit. Can someone
help? Maybe I just don't know how to negotiate the site. Has anyone
built the McNeil clock frame?

eBay often has an interesting assortment of new and used clock parts.

I have purchased from klockit several times and have been happy with
their product, price, and service. If you find their online catalog
hard to use, they are happy to fill your mailbox with the paper version.
They do respond to email questions also, although I found this to
require several tries to get a specific question answered.
