Grüße. Ich habe kürzlich diesen Kaminuhr/ BuffetUhr aus einem Second -Hand -Laden bekommen. Es fehlt den Wickelschlüssel und im Allgemeinen weiß ich nicht, wie ich prüfen soll, ob er in funktioniert. Kennt sich jemand mit dem Thema oder Modell? Kann ich einfach einen normalen Wickelschlüssel von eBay bestellen?

There are several sizes of clock winding key: you’d need to measure the width of the winding arbour — that’s the square pin the key fits over. Use [this chart](https://blog.esslinger.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/clock-key-chart-1.jpg) to get the correct key size (this are Swiss sizes — American keys differ slightly, so make sure you’re ordering the correct type). German clocks generally take a #7 or #8 key.
If you’re not sure, you can order a [set of spider keys](https://files.ekmcdn.com/zigzag02/images/clock-keys-5-in1-even-numbers-4-6-8-10-12-brass-spider-clock-winding-key-1066-p.jpg) to get all the sizes you could possibly need, if you’re thinking of collecting these clocks.
Of course, if you can find a clockmaker in your local area (not easy, of course, the trade is nearly dead), they can help you get the right key and give you advice on the proper care and maintenance of your clock.
