How much should I spend to fix it and return it to my dad. (I told him to let me see it and that I would get it fixed.)

It’s value when running is maybe $600.

YouTube for how and eBay for parts. If you have a local watch repair guy it should be under $500, but it depends on what’s broken.

Clock guy said it’s the main stem and he estimated repair costs at $450 but he’s looking into it now. Eh, fuck it, I’ll just pay to get it fixed and give it back to dad as a present. Elgin 21 jewel from the 1910s. Has grand dad’s initials embossed on it.
