Clock repair
I think there is a guy on Rt. 109 in Moultonborough , not too far up from Rt. 25
|
There is one close
I don't know the name of the company but there is a clock repair shop with a unique sign made up of oversized clock gears across the side street from the VIP auto parts store in Laconia on Union Ave.
I hope this helps CT |
There's a clock repair fellow in Moultonboro on Rt.109 not too far from Buckeys.
He has a shop in the barn behind his house. He's an interesting, helpful guy, and a big collector of old clocks. He did some work for us and was very reasonable. I will try to find his name for you. |

About 15 years ago +/- I brought in two old clocks: A Gilbert gingerbread (Winsted, CT) and a Seth Thomas mantel chime clock (Thomaston, CT). The Gilbert needed careful cleaning to be able to operate more than a few min. The Seth Thomas needed synchronization of the chimes and a key. The clocks were there for quite a long time however the repairs did not pan out and a key for the Seth was never delivered. Sadly the two clocks have not run since. Now maybe it was a lack of experience with the specific clocks, I don't know. I do know that I was not happy with the outcome. |

I was working in Laconia back then, and as I remember it, that was about the time period the old owner passed away. :eek: |

His son Ken took over the business and he is just as good as his father. I highly recommend the Osgoods. |
Right you are, thanks for refreshing my memory.. :)

My opinion is you need a very good clock technician to repair a very good clock. Depending on the brand of your clock, I would either use Chelsea Clock in Chelsea, Ma or the Boston Clock and Watch repair in the jewelers section of Boston on Washington St, roughly #350.
Chelsea would be my first choice, if they repair your make of clock. They list what makes they repair on their web site, They usually take 4 to 8 weeks to turn it around as they are often very busy. The place on Washington Street might be faster, but they are a cash only business, so you have to return for pick-up. Chelsea will give you an estimate when you drop the clock off and return the clock to you via UPS. Therefore, only one trip to Boston. Good luck! R2B |
the number for the clock repair on Rt 109 in moultonboro is 603-476-2242 The name is Tom Zimmerman. Really nice nice guy and does a great job at a fair price
