I won this one from an auction house about 2 years ago and is still to be overhauled. It should sound fabulous when complete, but the springs appear to be 'tired' and don't want to wind it up again, as the fusees are I think 'cat gut'. Many repairers/restorers change this to phosphor-bronze for rigidity and reliability. The bellows are intact and can be made to sound, but sluggishly.

If anyone knows a reliable company that can overhaul and restore these in England, UK, I'd be excited and glad of your advice. I know of only Carlton Clocks in England who have done these to a high level.
