Thank you. Thought it was a car. I have another bezel-wound one of similar vintage. Just have to decide which one goes in the car! _________________ Alistair

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution |

Thanks again.
I have been "testing" the clock. Seems to keep good time and responds to the "fast /slow" adjustment. On occasions it just stopped and required a shake to get it going again. (plenty of wind on the spring!)
I guess it could do with a clean inside..? _________________ Alistair

An old bloke once told me of a way to clean the internals of an old clock.
Open the back to access the workings and position it, workings down over a dish of methalated spirits to get the dust and beasties out.
Cheers, Tony. _________________ It may work in practice, but not necessarily in theory! |
