Sorry to say, it's not worth paying for the repair. You may be able to DIY, but if it's more than clean and oil, even that isn't worth it. I've been collecting clocks for half a century or so, and the sad truth is that clocks are losing value unless they are very, very special. Stamp collections, old wooden furniture (brownware), all that stuff is rejected by the younger collectors. Vintage clocks break my heart. Nowadays, I acquire and hang them for decoration. I'll get around to the repairs when they get around to appreciating in value again. Latest acquisition is a Standard school master clock. 60 beat pendulum, self winding, two pilot clocks (for strings of slave clocks), three bell circuits, several spare tapes.Nominal value is about $1500, if you could find an old duffer who absolutely had to have it. Paid $200, probably could have paid less. Even my once-prized Howard # 89 is only worth $600-800, and nobody wants it.
