Clock Repair

1 Slow Z · 10-25-2012, 10:04 PM

Not sure if anyone has any ideas, but my mom has a grandmother clock that needs some repair. Does anyone have any experience with any local clock repair shops? Thanks for any inputs you all may be able to provide.

Thanks. I came up with that one all on my own.

Grandmother clocks are smaller versions of grandfather clocks
Although there is no specifically defined difference among these terms, the general perception seems to be that a clock smaller than 5 feet or 1.5 meters is a granddaughter; over 5 feet or 1.5 meters is a grandmother; and over 6 feet or1.8 meters is a grandfather.

There used to be a guy in the hamlets that fixed them but he either moved or died.

One sits on the floor and one hangs on the wall.
