<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Deb D., post: 12322237, member: 91560&quot;]It was working fine until I brought it to my new house. I was very careful moving it, I did remove the pendulum. Now the pendulum swings for about a minute, then stops. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had it to three places to see about repairing it. The first place said they don&#039;t work on wind-up clocks. The second place said their solution would be to replace the wind-up mechanism with an electric movement and do away with the pendulum. To me, that destroys the original charm. The third was a <i><b>repair cafe</b></i> where the person didn&#039;t even know how to open the case or remove the hands. They fumbled with it for almost an hour and a half and didn&#039;t fix anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are other clock repair shops, but are very far away (Queensbury is 40 and Poughkeepsie a little over 100 miles one-way) and no guarantee they can fix it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t bother with it except it&#039;s a sentimental item. My parents bought it at Montgomery Wards on Christmas eve 1982 and that was the last Christmas my dad was alive. he passed away the following April.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any advice?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]553698[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
