Most of these clocks have french 2 1/2 inch movement in them secured by 2 brass lugs which often twist so the dial is out of line .
This is not a major problem .
The earlier movements had silk suspension and exposed count wheels on the strike mechanism which is usually on a bell . These are a tad more technical to repair .
The more recent movements early 20c strike on a coiled gong .
Any good clock repairer ( BHI listed / trained) will be able to help on these if they choose to work on this style of time piece .
Your budget should allow you to pick something up that is working with a warranty if not a clock from an auction that needs servicing (ensure all the parts are present on the later) .
I’m not a repairer but have collected these and Carriage clocks over the last 30 years so have a little amateur knowledge ... auction prices for these are very low currently and have been for sometime ... except for the clocks “signed” by the top makers and the English fusee movement examples . Good hunting and good luck .
