Time for new tools, cracked rubbed in jewels

I cleaned and reassembled my 1920 - 30s car clock and was getting really poor amplitude of only around 120 degrees when on the timegrapher, even worse in dial down position, so it was clear I missed something.

I stripped it back down today and discovered 2 cracked jewels on the third and fourth wheels.

I managed to pick up the tools for opening rubbed in jewels some time ago, but I haven't yet got a set to close rubbed in jewels.

So I'll put this back together and set it aside until I get the tools to close rubbed in jewels.

No matter how many tools I get I always seem to need more..............

Not to mention on close examination the pivots on the wheels are damaged too, so a complete Jacot tool has moved up the list.
