My 1948 Fleetmaster wind up clock quit working. Sent it to him, had it back within a few days. He repaired a large spring that had become unwound, fixed a screw on the faceplate, replaced broken rubber washers, cleaned, lubed, bench tested. wow...back in the car now, it is tikking away peacefully. He is the BEST !! Please contact him if you need any clock repairs. Thank you, Jim !!
