I'm sorry to say that I got my young hands on this clock some 50 years ago when I was "learning the trade" in a clock shop*. It was my grandmother's table clock and it had quit working. The easy solution at the time was to convert it to a battery clock. As I changed the battery tonight, along with "falling back", I wondered if it might be possible to restore it to a proper electric clock. I still have what may be the original hands, but not the movement. [Actually, I just looked at the Model 155 movement parts in my 1934 Waltham material catalog, and they do not look at all like I remember the movement, so I think when I installed the battery movement the original was already replaced.] Does anyone know if restored movements are available?
[This clock appears to be the "Gothic" model from the '30s].
* If this example of my work has anyone worried, I was in high school at the time and did not pursue a career in clock repair. I have stuck with pocket watches where I am more respectful of heritage and originality.
