1951 PONTIAC CAR CLOCK RESTORATION (JAEGER movement)

Basically details the process necessary for restoration of antique vehicle clocks with a JAEGER movement installed.

A helpful video; my 49 Chrysler uses that same movement. I found the balance wheel shaft to be very loose, apparently from worn or missing "bearings". It would actually run if carefully held face down. I found a NOS unit on eBay which keeps time nearly perfectly out of the box but I really wanted to make sure and oil it before installation. Now I know what to do, and have a better idea how this unique design works. I also was able to recap the radio & bring it back to life. I like everything to work, and work as designed!

If you put an exacto blade knife down between the spring and the upper pivot you should be able to let a drop of oil run down the side of the blade and take care of that upper Pivot Point

Better than a quartz 🤣

[@jaysonlast576]

you mentioned 6v because this is a 6v car or is it a 12v car that regulates the voltage down to 6v?

I have a Rover 90, it has been converted from + earth to - earth, would this effect the mechanism?

I wonder if you check this, what is your company? I have a 1948 Pontiac clock im looking at getting rebuilt

[@bhagmeister]

Are you still available for a ‘48 clock repair?

How does oil affect the hair spring?

It may potentially cause it to rust.
