Re: [Liveaboard] Good nautical clocksmiththanks for your thoughts Max. The clock has seen lots of service and some mis-handling by the last watchmaker.
I'd like to keep the clock as it has many memories for me. sea u, Rit -----Original Message----- From: Dawson, Max B [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dawson, Max B Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2008 7:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Liveaboard] Good nautical clocksmith 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 > I'm looking to find someone reliable to repair my ole Seth Thomas nautical > clock. > > Had spent a considerable sum a few years ago for a guy to repair it and he > didn't succeed. > > Any suggestions would be most appreciated. > > Thanks, > Mike > > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG. > Version: 7.5.519 / Virus Database: 269.21.7/1333 - Release Date: 3/18/2008 > 8:10 AM > No virus found in this incoming message.
