This one is in excellent condition and runs very well. It doesn't have a second hand, but does have a glass crystal. Sanded the edges of the glass to avoid possible future chips since the edges are the weakest part of the glass.

The paint is very shiney, but has an orange peel effect. Not a problem, just not glassy smooth. This happens when the paint is textured like the skin of an orange. The paint is either sprayed improperly or the sprayer is limited or faulty. Paint that comes from a spray can will cause this effect no matter what you do. This affect can be fixed after the paint dries.

Interior side of the back plate. It just pops right off after you remove the winding keys. Only mild friction holding it on to the back of the body.

It is a very fat looking clock.

On double bell analogue clocks like this one the alarm striker can get stuck if not properly adjusted. The solution is to loosen the bell stems on both sides (bell side and clock side) so that the striker can move freely then tighten them all back again. The other solution is to bend the angle at which the bell would sit on top of the stem. Keep in mind that the clock side part of the bell stem is connected to plastic that could break if any real force is used.

Could not get to the front face pivots to lubricate without removing the dial first. The dial is made of thin cardstock that is glued to the clock. The hour, minute and alarm set hands come off easy enough, but putting them back on is a delicate matter that unless put back on perfectly will yield a clock that doesn't run. On another note, once you remove the hands they need to be resynchronized so that the alarm corresponds with the position of the hour and minute hands. Total hassle!

One of the cleanest movements seen on a vintage analogue clock. It is bright and shiney. There are plastic gears, but the biggest piece of plastic holds the movement. It has 4 slots for holding nuts that screw the feet and bells to the clock. The hairspring was bent and out of alignment. It was carefully bent back into place. The clock runs for more than 2 days before it stops. That is very good for a clock that is only rated to run 30 hours.

There was a little bit of touchup done to the dial. It had a little bit of yellowing around the center. Soaked with household hydrogen peroxide for nearly 5 minutes, rinsed with cold water and then pressed baking soda onto the surface and let it dry for about an hour. Some of the discoloration was lifted out to the point where it is really hard to see. The dial was then clear coated to protect it. No additional sheen.
