I am NOTa retailer.I am anantique clock collector wishing to reduce my clock collection. This clock comes from my collection & hasbeen running successfully for several years with no difficulties. It has been tested prior to thisoffering. Clock set-up to establish thecorrect “beat” is paramount to the clock’s operation, accomplished throughplacement & leveling (sometimes with rotating the movement while in theclock case). Additionally, temperature& humidity may affect it over time as well. Do not over wind the clock. Lastly,I cannot guarantee the clock’s operation once shipped. However,I do take pride as a seller of my clocks & make myself available for setup issues via email communications.
