Mantlepiece clock parts
Discussion
Hi, my 1930s mantelpiece clock time does not work, chime does when hands are moved. I did not know where in this forum to place this advert so apologies if its in the wrong one.
I have taken it apart and tried to clean/ oil it, but still does not work. Spring barrels, there are 3 of them but don't know which ones do what.
Can anyone help or direct me to someone who can?

Thank you for your reply. I can see where the hours would be spent as it looks a complete minefield to me. To be honest, I only bought it for £10 so don't think it would be worth the money to be sent to a specialist. I know to get it done properly would be about £150, and know why it costs so much. If it would have been handed to my by some family member or something like that I certainly would spend the money on it.
Is it worth trying to put a new spring barrel on it for the hand movements? I'm not interested in the chime part of it.
Kind regards.

Found out the springs are stuck together and boing when wound. Not sure this is the problem. Think I need a new spring and box.
There are two smaller and one larger Spring box. Larger one is to the right of the three.
Picture upside down....sorry about that.
