Up thru '70, the type 3 clocks are rather easy to repair. I generally charge
$25 to clean them up, repair them, and set them up for another 25 years. I
believe there is a writeup on this at our web site.

If you found a nice way to fix these, then it might also work for the late ('71-

If you have any way to post what the end result looks like, that would be
interesting. If it looks really nice, then we'll want details. ;-)
