Morbier Clock, 'Marciac'. Cleaned up.

Well, the clock has been stripped down to each part. All cleaned up and put back together.
It was impossible to tell the difference between parts that were brass or steel it was so filthy. It is possible the clock was in a kitchen by the grease i had to clean off.
I took photo's of each individual piece coming off so refitting was simply a matter of following tne photos back. Normally i get lazy and forget to do this but am glad i kept woth it this time.




I have jury rigged a test stand with the kitchen chairs and by using the pendulum from my other clock have checked the movement. 'Morbier Clocks', by Lawrence A Seymour , came in handy here or I would have been floundering about for a while! 
So it is ticking and chiming and telling time. Now to find some oil.
