Any suggestions on places that refurbish/restore Jag clocks? Do any exist?

Re.: Clock Restoration?
If you're trying to repair a Series I clock, contact Mike Eck, mikeeckoptonline.net. Mike is a talented engineer who's developed a modern circuit board that can not only revive an S1 clock, but make it keep good time. The price is very right. He has a little demo set up...half a dozen S1 clocks, all running, and all keeping the same time!

Re.: Clock Restoration?
I don't have a copy in front of me but check Hemmings Motor News. The last time I looked there were several companies that repaired old auto clocks advertising there. As an alternative to repair of the factory mechanism there are also firms that replace the original mechanism with a modern quartz movement.
You might also try Nosinger (sp?)instrument.

I just had my series II clock repaired by Mike Eck. It is the type that used to use the mercury cells. He did a fine job: cleaned and lubed the mechanism, installed some electronic gizmo so it now plugs into the 12 volt system via a small wire and plug. I just attached it to a hot lead at the fuse block. It uses the original mechanism, still ticks, and retains the function of the front knob and time adjustment.
$75 in the US.
