Re: Smiths Bakelite clock
Hi Steve,
A nice, classic, mass-market, 1950s British clock, and relatively simple to sort because it's a single-train timepiece (i.e. has no strike or chime to complicate things) and is pendulum-controlled (as opposed to using a fiddly platform escapement).
Problems are most likely to be gummed-up pivots and a weak spring, both of which are easy enough to rectify.
If you can't find anyone else, I'll help out, but I'm overwhelmed with work, family life etc. etc. at the moment. It would be simple for you to remove the movement and send it to me. Do send me a PM.
Cheers,
Nick.
