The spring on the right is broken. Also, the weight is not the original, in case any experts out there notice.

I think this clock is roughly 100 yrs old based on my research.

Any recommendations for a reputable repair shop are appreciated.

Thanks

I had a mantle clock roughly 80 years old I took there in early 2020. Guy seemed very knowledgeable, but he had about six months of backlog with quite a few longtime customers in front of me. His starter fee to just disassemble and look at it was several hundred dollars. That didn't include cleaning, repairing and reassembly, and he didn't get his feeling hurt if you thought he was overpriced. Considering the time and potential cost I decided leave my clock as a conversation piece that still right twice a day.

Clock repair is pretty specialized labor that is as much art as skill. Be prepared that repairs probably won't be cheap.

Another option would be Leal's Jewelry. Had them repair 100+ year old clock. Replaced main spring and a couple of other small items. Clock has been running for almost 20 years now since repair.
