Will this straighten?

[dnhb]

My neighbour has asked me to get his Dutch Zaandam John Warmink Atlas wall clock working (photo 1). It has been stored in a loft for some time & the only really obvious issue is the bent arbour (photo 2). Would this need to be heated before attempting to straighten it; & could that be done safely in situ?

I don't think doing it in situ is possible, it also needs a service, it's filthy.

I can tell by your question that you are having doubts and that you feel disassembling it first is a safer method. Good thinking!

There must be a reason why that got bent , if dropped it could have caused other damage & it’s never good to try & straighten anything still in the movement although it’s probably not hardened.
