The first things that need cleaning are the springs. Keep a look of the holes in their ends as well, as they can be starting to split.

Thanks Mike,
This clock is about 80 years old and was my grandfather's. Is it likely do you think that after all this time that the springs may may need to be replaced with new ones. As far as I'm aware I'm the only person to have repaired this clock.
I've done several gramophone springs since I did the clock last time and it's helped me realise how sticky the springs get and the amount of effort to clean them.
I'm in the middle of a few projects before I can make a start but I hope to do it this year.
Jim
