End of season

The sweet Williams are mostly finished but a few hang on.  I doubt they will be picked.  I went on a home visit in the morning.  The tall clock case had to be largely dismantled to extract the movement.  It must have been an expensive clock when bought but had a poor quality broken part which I had to make a replacement for.  Moreover the part was never designed to be taken apart and repaired.  The old longcase clocks I repair are mostly around 200 years old.  There is not much chance for this modern one to survive that long.
