General Information....
I specialize in full service for most types of vintage and
antique American-made shelf, mantel, and small wall clocks, including both spring and weight powered models. I
also service some other clocks, and reproductions.
Due to advancing years and mobility and issues, I am downsizing and am now open for limited hours by appointment only. I can no longer accept very large or heavy clocks.
Mail-In Clock Repair Service....
Complete clocks:
Shipping complete clocks around the
country is very risky and can be quite expensive. Even with
careful packing, after the return trip, your clock may still
require minor on-site adjustment for proper operation. Unless you are able to bring your clock to my shop in Trappe, MD, I recommend that
you contact a shop with a good reputation in your local
area. If none is available please contact me for
proper instructions before shipping your clock. I am not responsible for any loss or damage during shipping. There will be a minimum repacking fee of $50 plus FexEx shipping costs. (No international shipping)
Bare movements:
If you are someone with the necessary skills to
properly remove the clockworks from the clock, and to reinstall
and adjust it upon return, consider shipping just the clock
movement. PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE SENDING CLOCKS OR MOVEMENTS. I will determine if it is a movement that I can service, and let you know what will be involved during reinstallationm and I will give you instructions for proper packing and shipping. (No international shipping)
Because of space limitations and the special tools and methods
required to properly service some unusual mechanisms, there are a
few types of clock that I cannot accept for service (see below).
Before sending your clock, please contact
me to be sure that service is available for your
clock.
Thank you for considering my shop for your next clock
service or repair.

I do not service Atmos, perpetual motion clocks,
Schatz Ships Bells, platform escapements, watches, chronometers,
grandfather clocks, small alarm clocks, and cheap "junk" clocks that are
either unrepairable or not worth the cost to repair. I service
some 400-day "anniversary clocks", French clocks, and
other speciality clocks on a case-by-case basis only after
consultation with the owner regarding the special issues and
costs of servicing these clocks. I cannot service any clock with
a "Radium" dial. |
