Cates Clock Repair

Lets go through a typical repair job. In this case we are working on a Seth Thomas mantle clock, manufactured in 1906. It came into our shop because it had stopped working and the owner didn't know why. We discovered that the gear on the main wheel of the time side train had broken teeth and that bushings were needed on some of the pivot holes.
