Roll with it, maybe

Roll with it, maybe .Q: Several months ago, you had an address for repair person for a grandfather clock. Will you please send me the addresses or phone numbers?

L.V.

A: Call Nino Gonzales, 442-8689, who might be able to fix the problem with a free telephone consultation.

Bob Larson, Old Timer Clock Shop, 1803 W. 35th St., 451-5016, makes house calls ($185 in Austin and $225 in Georgetown). If the clock cannot be fixed in your home, Larson gives you a free estimate for the repairs in the shop and no charge for the house call.

Many clocks easily can be fixed easily if the mechanism is easily accessible, says Mark Headrick, Abbey Clock, 6101 Cary Drive (836-8434). House calls include lubrication, adjustment and minor repairs. Rates? $95 in Austin and about $145 in Georgetown. Visit abbeyclock.com for tips on buying clocks and keeping them running smoothly.
