I haven't had time for the brakes, but I did spend some time on my clock. I have the guages from my '51 in the '52 because they were in better shape and I had the clock working by cleaning and oiling it. Somehow it became "over-wound" for lack of a better word. The parts that rotate to unwind the clock while it is running (I'll call the "weights") would not move anymore. The clock in the '52 does not work either. I took the clock partially apart and noticed some "clamps" with springs on them. Two of them are on the section with the "weights" and a third is under a brace on the main clock movement. That clamp also has a spring but it appears to not do anything. Maybe it's broken? In the pics, I used red arrows to mark them. They appear to clamp onto a wheel (green arrow). Disassembling the clock allowed it to be unwound. Now when I rotate the "weights" to wind the clock, it does not grab and just unwinds again. Would the issue be these "clamps"? I've looked online for a video or website that describes this clock but cannot find anything. Only clocks that are more modern than this one. Anyone out there have knowledge on how to repair these things? Is there a website showing the disassembly and repair of these particular clocks?
