New Restoration Project

Picked this up in Eastern Europe decades ago. Time for a little loving attention.

Extra Update. Seized screws, seized nuts, seized wheels. Full of dusty fluff and I'm pretty sure some insect was using it as a bedsit. Movement out, dust removed, seized cogs released, cleaned, oiled and generally tickled with cotton buds. Clock face out and given a clean, it has faded a lot but there is little I can do with that. All reassembled and it is ticking away nicely - just adjusting the regulator every hour to get it keeping good time. Applied some corrosion treatment to see if the brightwork can be improved overnight.

A great looking clock working again after decades in the depths of the garage, all for the price of £7 for some metal polish (which is exactly £7 more than the clock is worth). If only I could find an aged ukulele player with more money than sense.
