We have the sentimental grandfather clock. It was my wifes grandmothers. Been to the shop once for a $400.00 repair. Has to go again. Another spring sprung. The clock is 60 years old. Metal fatigue at work! It is German movement. Amazingly we still have the manual and bill of sale! But yes, the clock is sentimental to the wife so repair costs do not factor in on the decision to repair it.
