JW...that's a neat idea! I'll have to consider that.

I took the clock out to the garage and hit it with the air compressor as BigKev said he had done. blew out the gears the best I could. I tried to use the air to get the PB Blaster off the face, from under the glass, but that didn't help much. I didn't think about dust clogging the clock. That's a good point. Luckily it is at least somewhat protected in a housing. I wonder what is different about the clock oil versus other oil like 3-in-1?

I guess I'm going to need to take the glass off to clean the oil out. Anyone know how to do this? Looks like the needles need to come off, but also the hollow shaft that goes to the clock speed adjustment at the 6 o'clock position.
