    Salutary Lesson in Clock Repair

    First of all, let me say this is not one of my finest moments.
    Mrs Hopak bought an art deco granite three piece clock when she was a student in the 80's on Preston market.
    It's been sitting, ticking away on our mantle ever since.
    To cut a long story short it started to lose time, then gain time then the hour hand kept coming loose and falling down to the 6 position.
    Then I volunteered to have a go at "mending it".
    This is the sad result ......



    I know there's some great watch repairers here, but are there any clock men I can maybe send the remains to to restore it to it's former glory?
    Or are replacement movements available?
    There are no maker's marks so I don't think it's anything special but it's got great sentimental value and I have to get myself back into Mrs H's good books.

    Suffice to say I won't be attempting any more repairs myself but any advice is most welcome.
    Thanks
    H
