Hello Mike, et. al! This is my first posting on the List, but since my father was a watchmaker for over 45 years (and I also did some clock repair during my high school years) I thought I could actually participate for a change! Anyway, here are some thoughts: First, you have a "real" clock, if it is indeed a Seth Thomas, so you have hope. Second, if the clock was not wound that often (as is usually the case), then more than likely there need is for a good cleaning; this can be performed by any competent individual who works on clocks (the hairspring on the balance and the leaves on the mainspring are probably very sticky). Third, if you need parts you may very well be out of luck - but still worth pursuing, as this would probably be a case of how persistent you want to be... I wish you well, as this is another era long gone.... max
