Clocks, Watches/Jauch conversion

Question
I have a Jauch regulator clock (I guess you'd call it) model #P.L. 57 cm.
On the back of the clock face, under "Made in Germnay" it says, "85 8".  I bought this clock in Germany about the year 1988.
This wall clock is approx. 36" high and has a small second hand dial and day of the week dial on the face of the clock and plays 3 chimes (which sound exceptional in tone quality, as far as I can tell.)  The clock just doesn't work and no one has been able to repair it.  I would like to know if there would be any conversion kit that might possibly work in this model.  You may call any time with more questions or e-mail.  Thank you so much for your time!

Answer
 tania: this is a three weight wall clock?  Possibly a Hermle 451-053 66cm would work - you would need to shorten the pendulum a few inches.
 All clocks are repairable - I would suggest you get a competent repair facility to fix the one you have. Why can't they fix it? Where are you located?
