   It sounds like you are into Sunbeams.&nbsp; As for my service, I disassem=
ble the clock, ultrasonically clean it and properly lubricate it.&nbsp; Then=
 I install my proprietary crystal-controlled microprocessor board that influ=
ences the original mechanism to keep accurate time.&nbsp; Your clock looks, s=
ounds and is set the way it originally was.&nbsp; It will also work with eit=
her battery polarity and start itself when power is applied.&nbsp; If necess=
ary, I can also do minor cosmetic improvements like painting hands or buffin=
g the plastic lens while it is apart.&nbsp; The cost is $100 each, which inc=
ludes return postage.&nbsp; Package your clocks securely so they don't get d=
amaged in transit, and send them with a check to <a>418 Whig Lane, Glassboro=
, NJ 08028</a>.
