   Hi, I do not have any King Arthur manuals, but the company was a spin-off from Emperor and I should have some similar manuals. Send me a clear picture of the front of the clock and I will find a manual that is similar to your clock. My email address is below. I will reply with my mailing address. I will also need you to send me: 1 weight cap 1 threaded rod 1 top hook that goes on the threaded rod Also, The EXACT length of the weight shell with the top and bottom caps installed. These pieces are critical as far as the exact dimension of the diameter of the weight shell that fits the caps, the thread of the rod to match the top hooks and bottom nuts. Also the relation of the weight and rod lengths, because some of them have an internal threaded bottom nut. Concerning the key, there were different locks and keys provided by manufacturers, therefore they don't all match. If your door is open, I will need you to send me the lock. This can be done by removing the two screws securing the lock. I can then match or make a key to work. If the door is locked, I can sell you an assortment of keys and will give you a refund for the ones you don't use. One last thing, we should check to see if the pendulum hanging configuration is correct. If you can get access to the back of the movement, check to see if the pendulum is hanging on the hanger (should be a brass strip about 6" long) which is attached to a suspension spring which is at the top and a little smaller than a razor blade. It should not be damaged. If you can send digitals and do have access to the back of the movement, it would help greatly if you send a photo of the complete back of the movement with the pendulum hanging.
