This was my grandfathers clock and hung in his wall for many many years. As a small child, I remember him winding the clock every Sunday and the sound of the BONG on the hour and a softer at the bottom.
It also was in my moms kitchen after that but could not stay running for over a few minutes. It has been silent for over 30 years.
Since I have inherited it, I though I would try to restore it and get it running again.
After trying to clean it with alcohol, bending the verge wires to see if I could align the tick-tocks - I came to the conclusion I needed to do a total rebuild.
Here is a video showing how I rebuilt the clock and get it running again.
Here are the links to the parts I purchased:
The video doesn't cover everything I tried - just what worked. Below are all the pictures and more from the video.
