Item does somewhat work but should be serviced by a professional. When you swing the pendulum it will make all parts move and keeps time for the most part. The bell never rings so it may have an issue or I might not know how to set it. I am no where an expert and would rather not do any harm to the clock and leave it to an expert. It is beautiful and is free of damage or major blemishes. Please ask all questions and review all photos as they are part of description. Measures 14x10x5 ap...proximately. The shipping will be $40.00 fully insured to your lower 48 state street addresses. No PO Boxes AK, HI or terriotories at this rate. UPDATE After 15 hours of testing still keeping good time and the BELL rings now. I will update if item continues to make progress.
