I've come into possession of an antique clock (not uber-ancient, 1881-1885). The clock worked beautifully until a few years ago when I believe it started to get overwound by the previous owner. Does anyone have recommendations for a place that does antique clock repair? Not looking for face restoration, I just want the clock to work and chime again. If it helps, the clock was made by E. Ingraham -- hoping since this was a Connecticut clockmaker that someone local might still specialize in repairing them.
Added bonus if you can be a reference, show me pictures of work done, etc :) This clock isn't worth a lot of money but is a family heirloom, so I really want to make sure it'll be treated right.
