Bulle clock Nº 178735

A short movement Clockette on a round wooden base. No dome supplied. The clock was delivered in parts well bagged up and tagged. Some of the sub assemblies were still complete such as the pendulum. After checking I found no parts missing and so it was just a job of cleaning and reassembling.

The pendulum complete as supplied. No parts missing.

The movement itself is complete and in good condition. The fork fibre insulator is very worn and needs replacing. The silver contact though is pretty good with hardly any wear on the inside, so it will be kept. All the assemblies can now be stripped and cleaned.

The coil proved to be fine with a 1200 Ohm resistance. The lead out wires are OK and just need tidying up with new insulation.
