The pictures are amazingly bad, but it does seem &#039;basket case&#039; is generous. A skilled hobbyist clock restorer may be able to do something with it, but the effort would vastly exceed the value and could be better applied elsewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would use it, were I learning about clock movements as a study object. If you took it to pieces and could not re-assemble it it would be no great loss. Reading a good book on practical clock repair and then trying to apply what has been learned is the way to go. Mess this one up and you can try another cheap movement till you can do a rebuild and know just what you are doing.</p><p>Whatever you do with the movement, ensure the springs are fully run down before splitting the plates or it will explode in a shower of parts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
