I am getting ready to work on a self winding Western Union clock.
I purchased this some years ago and it has run without fail for about 5 years before it quit.
At that time I installed new batteries but they would not bring it back to life.
I know little to nothing about these clocks other than I have read on this site.
I am going to take the movement out to oil it and hopefully clean the contacts, but that is where I need help.
What can I use to clean the contacts and not destroy them?
Can you please share any vital information I might need to do this job and not be a total failure.
I would certainly appreciate any info you can give to someone new to these clocks.
Thanks
John Murrell
