Dania flea market had a 6 inch Chelsea Ships Clock that was gross with corrosion.

I figured the brass case was worth the $10.00 price.

Amazed when after winding, it worked!

Went to have it cleaned and oiled , only to be told its not possible , only new $600 guts would restore it.

Since it keeps good time , I just wind it weekly ,

and will install electric battery strike guts , should it ever be required.
