I have loved them since I was a kid...but they have always been a bit of an "extravagant purchase" when I look at prices. I fell in love with one we had at our fraternity in college - it had moon phases, three chimes, beautiful movement, just amazing!
Anyways, I found this beauty on Facebook market place for $75...yup, you read that right...$75. I grabbed a friend, and went to pick it up instantly. While I do love these clocks, I have no idea what I got. It keeps time, and only has one chime, but wow, is it big and the case is in wonderful condition.
Did I score? Do I need to join a forum to learn about upkeep, or do I just put it back together and keep it running? The lady who helped me pack it up knew a lot about it, and how to properly pack it for moving.
Edit to add...this is my home office with 8' ceilings. It sits about 5 feet to my right, and I am excited to hear it chime when I get it re-assembled.
