Nice work but for future reference I just twist press fit a new pivot in the heat from silver soldering would have annealed the arbor & of course the blue steel wouldn’t be hard either just my suggestion.

I managed to sort this in the end. A gentle couple of turns with a broach straightened things out. That allowed me to move on to the next problem, a broken pivot on the escapement arbour. I've never needed to replace a pivot before, and this is the kind of clock you don't just buy spares for.... The new pivot here is shown before polishing. I cleaned up the end of the arbour, drilled a new pivot hole, and silver-soldered a piece of blue-steel steel into place. Cleaned up the solder and pivot on the lathe, polished it up and fitted it to the clock. Quite pleased with the result, which looks more substantial than the original. The clock has been running perfectly on test for the past couple of days. Just doing the final regulation after casing it up, and it's back to the owner.

do you have a picture of the staff and movement?

picking up a mullered Diesel DZ 1718 'Rollcage' tonight, I've watched dozens of Youtube vids but can't suss if I'll need a gasket or 'glue' when fitting the glass. I'm not just hoping for the answer, but tips on how I would find this info - ie, is there a parts list somewhere, or a 'blueprint'. Thanks in advance
