Always a pleasure to follow along. I believe your mastery of video equipment is as refined as your skills as a horologist.

I am always impressed with your close up video work, it truly shows what a mess some clocks are in.

I hope you get to service this one Jim, I’d bet on it being a strong runner. Thanks as always, Joel

Well, at least apart from "filthy", it didn't look like there was any real damage. Seems like with good cleaning, it'll be ship shape again! 😄

A little excess oil? This clock needs to be COA Hopefully the owner will understand the need and what will happen if they do not and run as is. Would love to see the work done on this. Thanks for video

I hope you get the OK to continue. It's funny how hair can find it's way into a sealed case like that.

Owner recognized the hair as one from their pet dog, must have got in there when the owner had it open removing the dial and hands...

Wow never knew some Chelsea clocks had domed glass! All in all that movement should really clean up nice. Looks like at one point in it's life it shared a space with a cat. lol

The owner said they were from their dog, must have gotten in there when he took the dial and hands off prior to shipping.

Looks like a "layman/owner" thought a little oil on the gears would help. Maybe when he removed the dial and hands.
@jamesmartin53703 ай бұрын
The oil on the pinions and gears looks like it came from excess oil in the mainspring barrel.

Owner only wanted a quick inspect to determine its condition, so they can make a decision to move forward or not. glad you enjoyed.
