This Blog describes my adventures in Clock acquisition and repair.
6/4/09
12. Seth Thomas Cuckoo Clock. 3.25" Dial
Acquired from an estate sale in Long Beach, CA. Required replacement of bellows (2) and back door latches. Clock is otherwise clean and in good running condition.
When I retired in 2002 after working for 50 years in the valve industry, I was looking for something to keep me occupied. During my working years I became experienced with machine shop practices while training as a mechanical engineer. I also enjoyed a woodworking hobby for many years. These hands-on skills, along with some good books on clock repair gave me the ability to dismantle, repair and re-assemble old clocks.
