Is it worth the cost of repair?

People often want to know if they should spend the money to repair / service their clocks. They ask me what the clock might be worth. My answer is usually that people don't have their clocks fixed because they want to sell them, unless the clock is a rare antique; people have them serviced because they love them! They add a lot to the ambience and decor of one's home! Determining the worth of a clock can sometimes be difficult. A lot depends on finding someone who wants it bad enough!
