    Dear fellow Horologist: Isn't Horology a wonderful thing? 😃 Just wait till you work on a Morbier or Hershede. Or even an Atmos clock. Have fun. 😆

    Beautiful French clock. I have rebuilt a bunch of those myself. We used a special clock cleaning solution, in an ultrasound machine, that had metal brighteners in it and the metal would come out clean and shiny and bright. And we used bronze bushings instead of brass cuz they lasted longer. I very much enjoyed restoring people's family heirlooms when I saw the joy it brought to them when they came to pick them up.

    Wonderful, as always on the TV. But what did you wash the parts with? I have tried to repair clocks too. Did you use fine wire wool? and the detergent was? And how did you get that wonderful polished finish? Just hand polishing or with a buffing wheel? And polished with a polishing liquid or powder? So many questions I would like to ask but cannot apart from these!

    Most cleaning solutions for brass movements are ammonia based. There are some types of brass that ammonia can crack though so care must be taken to make sure this doesn’t happen. There is “clock cleaning fluid” for ultrasonic cleaners that you can buy online too.

    Hi, I have a musical clock that is several yrs old. It's been working great all this time but some bugs found their way inside, are dead and showing from its glass face... Any suggestions on how to safely open it so that I can clean it inside? I opened it from the back but couldn't reach all the way there. I was afraid that I will mess up all those little wire connections...
