    I don't know when this was made, by whom, but I know it's intriguing. It doesn't work, alas, but might be able to be repaired, if we knew what it is.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

      This is a Plato clock - the first "digital" clock - patented by Eugene Fitch of New York in 1903. They were produced in the US by the Ansonia Clock Co. and in Germany by the Junghans Clock Co.

      Great! I knew someone would know about them. I'll check more closely for maker's mark and so forth.

      Is it worth the fixing? I realize that depends on what's wrong, of course, but are they particularly difficult works to repair?
