hausdok Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 That's my ultimate job fantasy. I'm fascinated by mechanical clocks and love to repair them. I'm jealous as hell. I think I hate that guy.

ozofprev Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Way cool, Kurt. That Marvin is good peeps. I wonder how much it cost to get that thing working after being abused for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspectorjoe Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 That was way too short. It definitely left me wanting more. Thanks for posting it Kurt. Here's a little more info about the clock: http://www.clocks.org/new_york_state/ny_manhattan_broadway_346_index.html Before I became a home inspector, I worked for an assisted living home that was filled with antiques (until they started getting sold off). There were about a half dozen tall case clocks that I took care of. One of them was built in the mid 1700's. I often marvelled at how someone hundreds of years ago figured out how to use gravity to measure time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
