Question
my parents have "The York County" clock, made by Daneker of Fallston Maryland. It will no longer chime, and is in need of repair. Are parts available for this clock, which was purchased in the mid 60's? How would I then go about finding an expert clock repair person in South Florida.

Answer
most of the time parts are not needed for "repair" so this is not an issue. Cleaning and repair of wear by installing bushings in the brass plates are most of the work. Yellow pages under clock repair and get several free estimates or visit the store. I am partial to repair people who do not have a store but repair only and do it full time.
