Purchased at an estate sale in Long Beach, CA on 6/11/2004. It appeared to be working, but kept time very erratically (sometimes it would gain a lot of time and sometimes it would lose a lot of time). The problem was finally traced to a missing taper pin that connected the friction drive gear on the minute hand to the minute hand shaft. I was able to replace the pin without disassembling the works (very tricky). The clock now runs well and keeps good time.
