How involved is it to restore an old alarm clock?
At Ken’s Clock Clinic, we have never run across a clock movement that we could not restore. This is simply because over the years we have built up the equipment, supplies, training and experience to fundamentally re-create most movements from raw materials if warranted. This is important! Fourty years ago when we first endeavored into clock repair, many mechanical clocks we encountered (which later went on to become collectors’ items) would often do well with cleaning, minor bushing repair, and oiling. Today it is a much different scale of problem than it was 40 years ago.
