I know somone with a 1930's electric clock, it needs a bit of TLC before plugging in. Do you know anyone who would be able to provide the TLC?

If it needs tlc in the sense of electrical safety, then a willing electrician could be just the person to deal with it.
If it needs tlc to its workings/ gear train/ hands/ etc. (eg it doesn't go) I don't feel an electrician would be the preferred candidate (Petej999 excepted), unless they happen to be horologically inclined 🤪 (speaking as someone who is, but doesn't do repairs!)

Try one of these if the clock is worth repairing:

I think I'd swap an annoying tick, for an even more annoying cable out of the top of it though

The break was 2 turns in so just reattached to the terminal. Had to use tweezers to handle the end of the wire.

I'll wire a clock point in when I finally replace the kitchen.
