Average Prices for Overhaul With Two Year Warranty

Electric clock with hour and half hour strike: $400 - $500

Electric clock with Westminster chime: $600 - $800

Electric time only or alarm clock: $200 - $250

If the motor is bad, add $100 - $150

These prices apply to repair of the movement. Any case work will be extra.

The motor in a chime clock is quite often good. The usual reason that these clocks stop running is that there is wear in the bearings caused by many years of use. This wear, along with dried up oil, causes so much friction that the motor cannot turn.

Above: Example of a Seth Thomas electric clock with Westminster chime. This clock was made in 1949. See my blog post, Seth Thomas Electric Chiming Mantel Clock – Simsbury-1 E for more about this clock. This clock chimes every quarter hour on four of the chime rods, and strikes the hour on the longest chime rod.

Above: an example of a Seth Thomas electric alarm clock. This is the Cathay model, made in 1955. See my blog post, Seth Thomas "Cathay 3″ Electric Alarm Clock for more about this clock.
