[UKMeterman]

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?

I'll give it a coat of TLC if you still need help

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:

Electric clocks are cool! Here is the last one I restored, it now lives in my kitchen. Gummed up mech and open circuit motor coil. Damn that winding wire is fine! Totally silent running which is nice, no annoying tick, tick, tick...

What you needed was an Avo coil winder
or maybe you used one?

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.
