This is a wall clock from around 1875.
I inherited this one over 20 years ago from my grandmother.
It belonged to her mother once.
This is weight driven.
It has two weights that are raised when winding.
One weight is for the clock itself, and the other one is for the clock chime.
If you do not want chimes, you simply do not wind the clock chime. 🙂
(As i understand it, some mechanisms are dependant of a wound clock chime, but for now i don’t know if this clock is one of those.)
It will be interesting to see if i can get it running again or not, time will tell. 🙂
It needs to be cleaned and have some brass bushings replaced due to their oval shape.
(Some of the the pivot holes has become oblong instead of round, and needs replacement.)
I need to drill out those old worn bushings to replace them, and therefore need to get some apropriate small drills.
I decided to use the Moebius 8030 oil that seems to be apropriate for wall clocks.
