Warbaby said:Wish I'd seen this thread a day earlier - those Golden Hour clocks are pretty easy to repair yourself. I've restored a dozen or so and if the motor's not burned out it's usually just a matter of cleaning the drive gears and oiling the motor. Dismantling one takes only a few minutes and there aren't a lot of fiddly little bits to deal with. OTOH, having your clock guy do it is the sure way to have it running in tip-top shape for years to come.
They're very cool clocks and one of the great mid-century design icons - definitely worth the cost of restoring it, particularly considering the smokin' price you got it for.
I am not mechanically inclined. I'm sure I would have had several parts left over had I taken it apart and put back together. lol
