Complete newbie clock servicing - Sinn

[plop]

I have a Sinn alarm clock as below. This is a clock for the visually impaired and has raised bumps on all of the numbers (with double bumps for 12, 3, 6, 9) plus particular hands to help someone tell the time with their fingers.

The clock runs if you wind it, but it needs winding regularly. Someone has at some point before it coming into my possession adjusted the timing thingy on the back to be at full negative, so I presume it was running fast for them. As I don't actually use this clock I have not really tested out the timekeeping. Alarm function works well. 

I was thinking of having a go at servicing it. I have various tools, but what I do not understand is what oil/s I will need... As this is my first any maybe only clock any advice on what I'd need to do a reasonable job on this would be appreciated.

Windles clock oil. It is one of the best oils for clocks around, its about the only clock oil you will need. It will be fine on the whole movement including the springs, the balance, the pivots of all the wheels (which are know as the train) and pallet pins. You will need an oiler the yellow one is best as its the thickest.

Hi  you have just had the best advice.  Its probably bone dry and needs a dose of looking at. Just take it steady and photograph each stage for reference when disassembling  and re assembling .  Windles for clocks its the best      good luck
