kParticipantWe have a Seth Thomas Starburst clock that has suddenly died. It runs on a C battery. Is there anywhere in West Seattle that does clock repair? Thanks in advance for any information.

miwsParticipantk, you might stop into, or call, NW Art & Frame in the Junction, and see if they have a replacement clock movement, that will work with your clock.
Years ago, like probably 20 or so, I replaced the movement in one of those wall clocks that is also basically a framed photo.
Now, the one I bought, was a AA, or perhaps AAA battery one, but it might be worth a shot.
I believe I bought it at an Arts/Crafts store, quite possibly NW Art & Frame.
One caveat though, that I didn’t think to consider, was the shaft from the movement, that runs through the clock body, and which the hands mount on was noticeably longer in the new movement.
No big deal in my case, it just kinda drove me nuts until I got used to it.
The part I’m talking about, looks pretty much like this:

WSBKeymasterDid you check this Junction shop? It’s not mentioned on the website but in a directory online pointing there, they mentioned clock repair as well as watch repair:

DianaParticipantMenashe and Sons in the junction does clock and watch repair. You might give them a call in advance and describe the clock and problem and see if they can help you.

kParticipantThanks for the help all! Mike, I went with your suggestion and replaced the movement myself. Thanks for the tip!
