Ok...it's time to get the old clock repaired and converted to accept 12v or maybe a 12v to 6v reducer. I was checking on the main site to see who does good clock repair or conversions. Found a few, but not sure who to go with. Any recommendations? Looking for a place or someone who can repair or convert that won't take me to the bank or have my clock for weeks. Is it possible?

This is from the HAMB vendor section.

Reports seem to be good work, he's a little backed up right now. Never dealt with them myself.

I have recently had my clock in my 38 Chrysler done as well as in a 48 Chrysler I am working on. Took both to a clock/watch repair place locally and he said both movements were in good shape and just basically needed cleaning. He said needing a good clean is very common with the older clocks that have probably never been opened up since they were new. He also filed the points very gently. I would just have yours done the same way. If you are running 12 volts a reducer would work.
