Seek Grandfather "Prayer Clock" Restoration
By Mark Kinsler 

The photos show the innards of a long-case grandfather clock with
a music mechanism -- including a tiny organ. I can get more photos
from the owner, who is in California. She would like it restored, and
I believe this is the best place to ask about it. It's apparently
called a "prayer clock."
