Clockwork repair 1
I found this wall clock from about 1910 in the classifieds and got it for little money. It didn't work as the spring was broken so I had to take it apart. The only problem problem was I had never done this before. So I bought a book and learned how pendulum clocks work, took it apart, cleaned it up, repaired the spring, reassembled it, oiled it and then scratched my head why that darn thing won't keep ticking. I spent two more days trying all kinds of adjustments until I developed a kind of feeling what the problem was. Now it is hanging on the wall and merrily ticks along.
