Question
QUESTION:    We have a Linden wall clock, Mod. #8053, which will not continue running. It will run for 1-2 weeks into its 31 day cycle and then stop. If I restart it, it will run for about the same amount of time and then stop again. This clock was purchased 12/17/77 and has been a fine clock till recently. It has never been oiled or serviced, but has kept very good time. We miss the chimes.
 I have no idea where to take it to see about repair for this problem, if there is one.
         Thank You,
         Paul
