I need some help with trying to find a replacement movement for our kitchen clock. Normally I'd just buy a new one but this has sentimental value so I need to get it working again!

It's one of those boggo black plastic AAA powered movements, what is making it difficult is the fact it has a pendulum on it. The existing movement is made by a company called Sheng Bang (hehe) the model is HD-1688. The main body is approx 50mm x 55mm x 22mm. With the pendulum arm, the height goes from 50mm to 88mm.

Sheng Bang (http://www.shengbang.com) describe it as a Mini-Pendulum movement but their site won't load the page for them! Google doesn't seem to turn up much else either.

Cousins have a Quartz pendulum movement but it's way too big for what I need. http://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/8/1171/1405.aspx

So, any ideas on how or where to source one of these? I'll get a few pics of the movement and add them to this post. Thanks!
