I guess they must have been stored in the basement for decades.

The article says that the clocks will be brought back to working condition, but doesn’t say how. I would imagine that they will be driven by modern “guts” behind the original faces. My only reservation was is that they could be susceptible to vandalism, which would be a shame as they would be irreplaceable.
I read somewhere, maybe on this forum, that the clock faces were stored by the city all these years, and I have a vague memory of one of them being in the old Dartmouth museum for many years.
