Timballisto:
Well, I'm trying to make a clock. &#A0;I need a really good motor to make it run. &#A0;I've looked at all sorts of clocks in which the gears and stuff are preassembled, but the problem is this: &#A0;The hour hand shaft is a hollow tube that is lower than the minute hand shaft. &#A0;The minute hand one is inside the hour tube.

diagram:




&#A0; &#A0; minute shaft ---------> &#A0;| &#A0;|
&#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; | &#A0;|
&#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; | &#A0;|
hour shaft -------------> &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;|
&#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;|
&#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;|

Anyhow, I need a preassembled clock that looks like this...

&#A0; &#A0; hour shaft ---------> &#A0; &#A0; | &#A0;|
&#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; | &#A0;|
&#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; | &#A0;|
minute shaft ----------> &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;|
&#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;|
&#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;|
&#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0; &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;| &#A0;|

How or where can I get this? &#A0;I'm trying to build my own customized clock as an alternative, but now I can't find a place with gears! &#A0;Arg! &#A0; >:(

Help?

PS: I'm trying to make the clock from Majora's Mask.

Edit:  The diagram isn't showing up right.  Bah.  If you have a question ask me about it.

if you put stuff in [ code] [ /code] tags it appears mono spaced.

Andi:
The clock from Majoras Mask? Isn't it a half circle? How do you want to solve this?

Timballisto:
A half circle?  No.  Actually it's a circle, and then a ring around the circle in the middle.

The only way I can see to solve this would be to order a customized clock movement or to build one myself.  The harder one is of course probably to build it myself.  However, I know someone that I could get to help me later maybe.

I drew up a diagram for how it would work.  I doubt anyone would really understand them if I put it up, but if you want me to just say so.

Whatever. Can't remember how it works.
