How The Clock Movement Wears:
This Kieninger Clock Movement is made up of 2 brass plates with 3 mainsprings and 15 gears in-between them. Each gear shaft has two pivots, one at each end, that ride in a hole in each of the plates. As the movement runs, the pressure from the mainspring turns the first gear in one direction, that gear turns the next gear in the opposite direction, and so on. Whichever direction the pressure presses the gear to run the clock, the pivot holes in the plates will wear in that direction. The more the holes wear, the more the gears drag as they move out of alignment, and the more power the movement needs to continue running. Eventually the movement wears to the point where the mainsprings cannot supply enough power to run the clock. At this point the movement will need to be rebuilt.

How The Clock Movement Is Rebuilt:
First the clock movement is completely disassembled and ran through the cleaner. Next, all the worn pivot holes are realigned and then drilled out to the proper size of the bushing it is to receive. The bushings are then pressed into the holes and touched up with a bushing reamer, as needed, to provide adequate clearance for the pivots. (I use only high quality KWM bronze bushings) The mainsprings are cleaned and oiled and reinstalled. The movement is then oiled, reassembled, and thoroughly tested.
