So it's an old french barometer/thermometer.  Pretty cool item!

I have no specific suggestions but I've seen some amazing work done by clock repair shops.

I have my grand parents old livingroom clock, doesn't work anymore, maybe I should take my own suggestion to heart and get it running.

I stumbled into a clock repair shop in Dublin, a little bit of drive from san jose. I do not know the owner. And I have wondered how the shop survived so long. I remember they have quite a few classic clock and mechanical watches. Google Dublin clock shop if you want to check them out. :smt006

Let me know if you find a good clock shop. I have an old cuckoo clock that belonged to my grandparents that I'd like to get fixed.
I don't like stuff that sucks.

There is a small clock shop on el Camino in san Mateo/Belmont.  Drive by it all the time.  It looks like the type of place that would repair old specialty clocks.
