Cuckoo for Cuckoo Clock Repair!
-
Need help finding a reputable cuckoo clock repair shop near White Plains, NY. My girlfriend's father has an old German cuckoo clock that has been sitting in his garage for ages, gathering dust. We know it's broken, it has visible physical damage (little bits broken off of the decorations), and I believe the innards are also broken (We have a bag full of parts). We'd like to get an estimate on how much it's worth before and after repair, and how much the repair is going to be. I tried googling "cuckoo clock repair white plains", but only got a few hits for local businesses on map / listing sites, and no actual reviews or websites. The one site that did come up for Westchester county no longer repairs clocks. Everything else is 2 hours away by car, north in New England. I get the sneaking suspicion that any shop worth its salt is going to be an old fashioned kind that isn't up to the internet age. Also, I don't recommend searching MetaFilter for "cuckoo" alone - you'll get everything BUT the clock. ;-)

Answer:
There is an old time clock repair store in the old small mall in WP that has the DMV. It is on the first floor across from the Asian grocery. He sells grandfather clocks and I think cuckoo ones too. Franklin Clock Shop 200 Hamilton Ave, White Plains, NY (914) 682-8068 â

I wound up taking it to the Franklin Clock shop - they could estimate a repair, but not how much it was worth. We may be hitting some specialist sites for this, once we determine if it's worth paying $1600 to repair...

$1,600? That is a friggin lot of jack. I hope it turns out to be worth enough to spend the money. Thanks for following up.
