Wow! This is where I got my grandfather clock and they were always wonderful at service and would walk me through repairs over the phone when I lived out of town.

Jim V.:

Try getting a manual or most any film camera repaired. When I started doing 35mm in 1983, many decent cameras just weren’t worth repairing as you could buy new for about the same price. Nowadays, my D50 and D70? If they have anything serious–it’s definitely cheaper to buy new. I still have some old cameras, but they’re just for objets d’chat.

There are still some mechanical clock repair folks around, but they’e mostly in major urban areas.

I used to go to Harpeth Clock. Lately I’ve been going to the place in Ashland City, because it’s on the way to some stuff we go to occasionally. Their opinion was that Harpeth Clock was doing inferior work. Guy had hired away their best clock person. I didn’t put much store by it at the time. Still, I hate to see them go.

We took one of our old clocks to the guy in Ashland City twice and it never worked right. Ended up taking it to Harpeth. We had to wait for them to get to it, but it worked when they were done.

this is too bad. I need a good horologist.

I need a good horologist.,

Every punchline I came up with for that set-up seemed too obvious…

Little help, please?

I was gonna say something, but what does clock repair have to do with gardening, anyway?
