Question
I have a Salem Ships Bell clock my father had with him in the south pacific during WW2. It has a weak mainspring and I want to send it to someone who will repair it. I have been unable to find such a source on the internet. Can you help?

Answer
Dear Pete,
Thank you for writing. I recently worked with a man whose father was a "Master Clock Maker". He not only made clocks, he repaired them as well.
A key word to use in your search is "master". You are also looking for someone who is a member of the American Watchmakers Clockmakers Institute. Here is one site I found. I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
