[QUOTE="oleg01, post: 4288183, member: 1516"]I apologize for the googol translator. I will try to help you. I am not a dealer, I just repair watches. Of course, the clock must work, otherwise the price drops significantly. This is a beautiful watch, it runs quietly and is relatively accurate. There are two main failures in this mechanism. Suspension of the pendulum (thin spring) and breakage of the gear teeth and after that the main spring breaks. If the pendulum is properly suspended, has free play and the main spring can be wound, then the watch just needs to be cleaned. To do this, you need to carefully remove the pendulum, pull out the mechanism. Put the mechanism in a jar and fill with cleaner WD 40. After an hour, use a brush to clean the dirt inside, you can also use a sharpened wooden stick. Leave on for 10 - 12 hours, brush a second time. Rinse well with gasoline. Do not use gasoline for cars. Only gasoline for lighters or similar. Gasoline should not leave a greasy residue. Then dry and grease the axles with oil. Apply oil with a needle, one capsi to each hole. There are holes for drums with a spring, also 5 - 7 drops of oil. If you have the will, you can fix any watch.
