Grandfather Clock

[f350ca]

I cleaned mine a couple of years ago, used this as an excuse to buy an ultra sonic cleaner big enough to get the whole movement in. Mine uses cables to hang the weights, there is a plastic shield that wraps around the cable drum to prevent the cable from tangling. Somehow the one cable managed to get a wrap over another when in the cleaner I guess. Never noticed it, the clock ran for a couple of days then quit, found the bind, tried to straighten it out but managed to break the plastic shield, Now need to tear the movement totally apart to replace it with a metal one I guess.
At least they're big enough parts to see, can't imagine tearing down a watch.
