     It sounds like you are into Sunbeams.&nbsp; As for my service, I disas=
semble the clock, ultrasonically clean it and properly lubricate it.&nbsp; =
Then I install my proprietary crystal-controlled microprocessor board that =
influences the original mechanism to keep accurate time.&nbsp; Your clock l=
ooks, sounds and is set the way it originally was.&nbsp; It will also work =
with either battery polarity and start itself when power is applied.&nbsp; =
If necessary, I can also do minor cosmetic improvements like painting hands=
 or buffing the plastic lens while it is apart.&nbsp; The cost is $100 each=
, which includes return postage.&nbsp; Package your clocks securely so they=
 don't get damaged in transit, and send them with a check to 418 Whig Lane,=
 Glassboro, NJ 08028.

    I just got my clock back from Mike, too. He let me know my face was not=
 correct for a MK1a and he had somebody who could make the correct one if I=
 didn=E2=80=99t mind waiting. I didn=E2=80=99t mind waiting, it came back l=
ooking and running like new. Highly recommended.
