[QUOTE="Bookwus, post: 188607, member: 3986"] Hiya blue, Yes! When I was presented with the cost of fixing my clock (spendy!) I decided to learn how to do this myself. I went out and bought a bunch of Type 3 clocks (cheap) and learned on those. A couple of words........... cleaning the clock is very important. Dirt is the big enemy here. Most folks who are new at the clockworks business will over lubricate. Over lubricating leads to the collection of dirt in moving parts - not a good thing. The bearings take just a minute amount of very light oil. Most of the clocks I have run into that were not functioning at all had burned out their fusible link. As you mentioned that's an easy fix.
