$279
FIXED PRICE REPAIRING WITH NO SURPRISES !
The FIXED PRICE is for a COMPLETE Teardown and OVERHAUL of YOUR movement, any
number of animations and re-covering the bellows. Included in this price are missing
linkages, nuts, screws and plastic hands. This price is for clocks made since WWII and covers
95% of all the clocks I receive. I can and will repair your antique pre-war style countwheel
clocks but I would have to see it to determine the price. If you don't know what you have
just send me a photo of the open back of the clock showing the movement and I can tell you
right away by email. Again, 95% of all the clocks I repair are at the fixed price of $279
including return shipping. If you have reservations or don't know how old your clock is feel
free to send me photos of the open back of the clock showing the movement if you have any
concerns about what your true costs will be. I'd rather be honest with you up front and I will
be.
I supply missing weights, pendulums, wood or bone hands, bellows, music box governors and
other major parts for a modest price. I will install however many bushings needed to make
your clock like new. If the clock is complete with all major parts this is my fixed price.
Note: For clock shops and dealers, I appreciate your business but I can only accept up to 3
clocks at any one time so that I can keep a tight schedule for my individual customers with
family heirloom clocks which is where my focus lies.
This Price applies to ANY Post War Cuckoo regardless if it is 1 or 8 day, with or without
music, or the number or animations, dancers, or oompah bands. If it was made since WWII
that is all you will be charged. The only exception is the Schatz 8 day clock made in the
1950's. It will say Schatz on the front of the case. These weren't made for long and parts
aren't available. They can still be repaired however but I have to charge more for them.
So, what all this means is that for 95% of the clocks I repair the
Fixed Price is $279 U.S. Dollars Effective 1/1/12
With FREE RETURN SHIPPING
That's Right, I will pay the Return Shipping Costs in the U.S!
Including Free Delivery Confirmation with a
Tracking Number I will Send You.
For all my customers outside the U.S. I will add your
actual return shipping costs to your invoice.
If the clock is over 15 years old it is possible that the music box governor is too worn out to be
re-bushed and repaired. I can provide these installed for $35 and any other music box parts for
a modest fee.
That's It $279 Total for any clock.
Although this is a price increase over last year, my costs from suppliers has gone up significantly
since my last price change. I have also factored in my desire to help those people with a family
heirloom clock that no one else can repair. I have always gladly repaired auction and estate
cuckoo clocks but I want to slow down and concentrate on family heirlooms
Quail and Trumpeter Clocks : For the foreseeable future I am no longer repairing antique
quail or trumpeter clocks for individuals, dealers or clock shops. That will enable me to keep to my
time schedule for my individual customers, which is where my major focus lies.
I accept personal checks, postal money orders, and international money orders
made out in U.S. Funds
Now I know you have questions, every customer of mine does.
So, Papa, what do I do now? How does this all work? How do I pack the
clock? Do you charge for estimates? NO Do I send a deposit with the clock or
money up front? NO When do I pay you? When I start work on your clock I
will send you an invoice and how to pay. I don't need deposits or money up
front and I don't charge for looking at a clock to determine what is wrong.
I've built my business on straight talk, fixed prices, and rebuilding YOUR own
movements so I'm happy to tell you what is wrong with your clock without
charging a fee.
HOW TO PACK & SHIP
If there is a decorative headpiece that clips to the roof off the clock, remove it and
keep it safe with you. Some headpieces have antlers which are very brittle so to be
safer just keep that part with you. Many cuckoos like chalet style don't have these roof
pieces so you won't need to remove anything on those.
I need your pendulum so carefully wrap "the little leaf on a stick under the clock". I
also need your weights to see how your clock behaves with your weights, not mine. If
you can find a small box for the weights to go in that is fine. The problem is that a
loose weight can and will go flying through the side of the box like a missile if it is
mishandled in shipment. If you don't have a box, just wrap a little paper around each
weight and then take 2 pieces of cardboard and make a sandwich with them inside.
Wrap it good in tape and this will do nicely. Please put your clock in a plastic shopping
bag like you get at Wal-Mart or Target. If it won't fit just use 2, one on each end of
the clock. That keeps it protected from the plastic peanuts, shredded or balled up
paper, or however you choose to pack your clock.
Please put your name, address, phone # and email address on a piece of paper
and put it in the box.
Mail it with delivery confirmation to:

IMPORTANT: Please email me and make contact with me before you ship
your clock. That way I can be on the lookout for it. I just want you to feel
safe about your clock. When I receive your clock, I'll send you an email that it
got here all right. I work on clocks in the order they come to me, so when I
start your clock I'll email you. At that time please pay me by personal check,
postal money order, or international money order in U.S. Funds . When your
clock is ready I will email you after I've shipped it and provide you with a
tracking number. I will include written instructions and there are instructions
on the website on how to set it up and keep it running. If you have any
questions while I have your clock or have trouble setting it up or for any
reason just give me a call or email me and I'll help you.
Thank you for letting me repair your treasured clock!
