Hi,
First post. I'm really a watch guy, but currently have a clock problem.
My wife has a Seth Thomas banjo clock (4811) that has stopped running. She took it to a clock shop and they said "$3000 to fix it."
?
they're clearly not interested in working on this clock.
It has a 200-005 movement. I thought I might be able to buy a replacement movement but Clockworks doesn't have anything in the 200 series.
Can anyone help me with a source for a replacement movement? I worry that none is available as I'd expect the repair shop would have proposed this as an alternative to repair otherwise.
I could put a quartz movement in it...but nobody wants to hear about that indignity.
