Brian, I have to agree with Tom. I have been on here for a little over a year. By reading the post, I have been able to repair several of my own clocks, as well as a couple of them for profit. When you finally dive in and take that first movement apart it all starts to click( or tic) 
Ii have a couple of people here in town that are retired clock people, that I have been able to help using this forum. Mahlon
