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.
