Anyone got any idea of traders selling such items?

thanks for the link. that's just what I'm looking for but had no idea they were that expensive.!

You can buy the battery clock inserts quite cheaply, and you can probably get hold of movie reels like that from ebay or similar cheaply too. I reckon it could be possible to make one for under £5 - I've boight some cheap clocks from the Pound Shop - 2 for £1, so you just need to find a suitable reel for under £4.

I'll see if I can come up with something now that that's given me an idea.

Thanks, let me know when you start selling

I've looked on ebay but only found suitable reels in the USA, I'll let you know when I come up with a result though.

here's a US ebay link:

Postage will probably be as much as the clock though.

I found a Metro Goldwyn Mayor reel on ebay too. Will be interesting to see how much it goes for.
