So maybe eight hours at what - $200 per hour or say $1600? Would you spend that much on a 250 year old clock? Could I just buy one for that?

Thanks for the quick response.

The price is what the market can bear, and the counterbalancing factor is that demand is limited. You might get it done for a fraction of that. My fetish is that I can't tolerate a broken clock, so I would certainly research the options. Eventually every problem finds a solution.

Yes; apparently we are of like mind.

Thx.

Check timesavers. You may find a modern gear that can be adapted.

Thx

You're lucky it wasn't striking thirteen...

Still running.

Just out of curiosity. Could you fashion a part out of a suitable wood?

Way above my pay grade.

Your Gary cooper and it is high noon? Kind of a classic western in the day.


Actually a More modern pendulum clock fell off the wall not long ago in the house. I could not get it going again. One hand was off as a result and the repair should have been easy. Except it was not. It had been there for decades . So I have no ideal of why it really fell. I suspect the gear inside that drove the clock hand shaft was damaged. Or something was bent. It was erratic after putting the hand back on.

Wow, these pictures are awesome. Thanks for sharing. Sorry, but I'm of no help with fixing your clock though. Just admiring your pictures.
