The clock strikes the hours but is in the wrong sequence, the quarters do not strike correctly. The case is very dirty. the dials are in good unrestored condition with no damage. There is a chip to the rear glass the others are in good undamaged condition. The repeat function stikes the hours out of sequence but does not repeat the quarters.
