I have taken this clock to several repair shops but no one can fix it. The spring snapped. I am hoping to find a replacement 8 day mechanism for this 8 day Seth Thomas OGEE Clock.....Thank you
I guess I'd like to know what is meant by " the spring has snapped". It is a common repair to replace broken springs. Are you capable ( no offense) to take off the hands and dial so we can see the movement? Jim
I posted some pictures. 3 clock repair people told me the mechanism cannot be repaired. It is an 8 day clock
Other than a couple of spots using solder as a fix, I can’t see where the problem might be. Where are you located? Is it possible you can contact a local chapter for help?
did they say it couldn't be fixed? or that fixing it would be cost-prohibitive? i see nothing out of the ordinary. otoh, a replacement movement is also going to have issues that will need to be dealt with.
I have been told both too much time and cost prohibitive. I live in Mission Viejo California. I am determined to find someone that will fix it.
It has already had bushing work done. It looks like an easy overhaul. I do not see a broken spring. Nice clock. Pursue the repairs.
Sounds like these clock places dont need any work, i dont see any big issues that would make someone not want to repair it.I would try to get in touch with someone through a NAWCC chapter for repair help.
