Sad to say I had a similar experience. Basically the owner is not a clock mechanic IMHO, but a clock vendor. He "fixes" clocks by taking movements from similar clocks and installing them. He told me he would like to sell the business. Maybe clock works will buy his inventory of clocks. The clock he fixed for me runs 15 min fast per day and cannot run slower because it has a controlling spring from another clock that can't be adjusted. It's way to the left of "0", as far as it will go. When we are done with this update on the Duchess, I may send it to Clock Works to get it right.
