Thanks Sead,
Bottom line, did you get it going again?

Very interesting videos seeing the clock in operation and winding up, thanks for posting. Question though...I'm about to pull all my instruments to switch to LED lighting...I can't see in your photos where the illumination is for the clock...does it have any? If so, where and what kind of bulb is used? Appreciate any info...thanks...
