It did not run for long but was only due to dried oil in the pivot hole sinks. What made it look really bad was the fact that the clock had been lacquered from new which most had now come off leaving it a jigsaw of bright and dull patches of brass all over the clock.
After stripping it down removing the old lacquer and cleaning, it was reassembled with a new mainspring and suspension spring and a new piece of felt on the base. I decided not to lacquer it but to polish it with a couple of coats of micro crystalline wax.
