Captain's Nautical in Seattle probably does. Look at http://www.captainsnautical.com/ for more info. I have had them repair old Swedish clocks, restore 100-year old sextants, as well as lesser tasks. They are probably the finest navigation store in the US. Most of the others have all gone out of business. Highly recommended. They have a great telescope-maker-optician on the premises as well. Dan
