	I also advertise in the MART, The Horological Times, and
The Watch & Clock Review.


	A complete overhaul with a two year labor warranty is $200.00
for any 400-day (anniversary) clock.  I do not work on battery driven
clocks.


	The $200.00 will include a new suspension spring and any
suspension parts such as top and/or bottom block and/or fork.  My
charge for shipping and handling is $30.00.  This brings your total
cost to $230.00.  Included at that price is from $500 to $1,000 of
UPS insurance depending on the age of the piece.  All other parts
will be extra.


	Please be sure to double box the clock and insure it for at
least $500.00.  By double box I mean to pack the 1st and 2nd boxes
as if you were going to ship each independent from the other one.
Also, to reduce your shipping costs ship via UPS be sure that the
2nd box measures 16" x 16" x 16" or less.


	My turnaround is usually 3 to 4 months.  Please be sure to
REMOVE or lock the pendulum before doing anything !  And NEVER
send the glass dome.  Old parts are returned by request only.


	Once testing starts, it is performed in two parts.  The first test
is the function test to ascertain whether or not my overhaul was
satisfactory.  Then the second test is the timing test which takes
about 2-weeks.  During this 2-week period I use the U.S. Postal Service
to mail you a copy of the invoice and I expect payment in the form
mentioned below.  I ship when both the payment and the second testing
period have both been satisfied.  Normally shipping takes place one week
or so after I receive payment.


	When I ship back the clock the package will contain your
original invoice.


	I ONLY accept money orders, certified checks, or company
checks for payment, but repeat customers may use personal checks
for payment.

	If you decide not to go ahead with the repair, then I return
the clock via UPS and COD.  The charge will be $50.00 labor, plus
the COD charge ($5.00), plus my standard shipping and the
insurance charges ($30.00).  This total works out to be $85.00
for a clock returned unrepaired after my estimate.  The COD is
dropped if you are a previous customer of mine.


	Dial refinishing is $150.00.  This will make your old
worn 400-day dial look like new.  This is a good companion to
case refinishing.  If you choose this option please add 4 weeks
to the original estimated due date.


	Case work such as stripping, polishing, and lacquer
sealing is an additional $350.00.  This work makes the clock
look new.  A Horolovar instruction manual is included with every
overhauled 400-day clock.


	Both dial refinishing and case polishing and/or plating
is NOT offered as a separate service and will only be done in
conjunction with an overhaul.  The same goes for any part.



Respectfully,


Michael P. Murray
