Servicing really pays

[clockboy]

I was asked to look at this clock as it had stopped after being moved without removing the pendulum. This Enfield clock was made in the 1930's but has been serviced every 5/6 years. A simple repair as it was just out of beat.This clock is in a lovely condition with no signs of any bearing wear & it runs a treat and just shows how these time pieces will run and run providing they are regularly serviced.

PS The strike was removed a few years ago.

They go on for donkey’s years. As you, say so simple to repair. Not made of good hard brass or steel in fact the steel is soft when it comes to pivot work. All down to good design with springs that do the job well.  These are far better than the later floating balance type.

Always remove the pendulum if possabe, if unable to move the clock tilting it towards you this stops the pendulum from swinging about.
