Junghans striking clock

Would I like a mantle clock the man said, sure I said, I've had it for years.

Not knowing anything about it , I said I'd give him something for it, not expecting too much I didn't think any thing about it, the next day I bumped into him again and he gave me a plastic  Box. 

Well I can now understand  why he wanted to get rid of it, lanturn pinions, lots of the pins missing and broken, the collet on the 2nd wheel on the strike was loose, I couldn't understand at first while I was winding  it up that the clock seamed to be getting worse.

So after sorting all that out replacing the missing springs , fixing the strike faults,  it's now running like a dream.

Just thought I'd  share it with you.

Well as for replacing the pins on the 2nd wheel, the hole where the pins are was really simple, I used a sharp pair of tweezers open the hole up and simply pushed the new pins in.

On this one occasion I had to soldier  them in, but only because, the collet was loose on the wheel.

There is usually enough brass to push over the pins.
