My wife collects old clocks. We have lots of them, and I don't keep count. In the living room we usually pause the TV while the multiple clocks strike the hour.
We just had the "the clock" guy come over today to tweak one of them to get it to run consistently. I always like to tease him that I can just hose down the movement with WD40 and watch him recoil in horror. And no, I would never do that. The prices for old clocks are dropping. Most younger folks might like the look of one, but they want them gutted, and a quarts electric movement put in. It is my wife's hobby to keep them all running and set. I don't touch them.
