I was given this clock this week being told it had not run for 10 years.  I expected issues and then found it is run via quartz, changed the battery tightened the loose hands and away it went.

The counter weights and chains are just for display. I could make a fortune with these repairs !!!

Its a  Dutch Zaandam clock. They do have other names. The antique originals are nice. Reproduction movements normally 8 day made in there millions in the 60's & 70's. You see loads of them on ebay.
