Don- I am not licensed to practice in the state of California but you are getting your blood pressure up over a matter of principal. We in the profession advise that principal pays. If the other party is not responding to your calls, odds are better than even that they will not respond to a letter from a lawyer. People,who are not used to being threatened with suit may tremble upon receiving correspondence from a lawyer but those who engage in.these types of practices will use the letter for toilet paper or practice of their hook shot......and you will be charged for the time.
If you reside in the vicinity of the other party, most jurisdictions have small claims courts to deal with these matters. Other jurisdictions have a consumer protection department usually listed in the directory of state services.
All things considered, you have spent more time on this post that most clocks are worth.....assuming you value your time. If you need a restored clock and the price is right....pay the bill or waste time looking for a replacement and the aggravation of finding someone to restore it.
My mentor once advised that you must learn the difference between problems and inconveniences. A lump in your oatmeal is not the same as a lump in your wife's breast. It you do not learn to distinguish the difference, life gets too dramatic.
