I'm ready to go, but don't have any cleaning fluid left. Got 4 litres of Zenith "Drizebrite" rinse and waiting on a delivery of L&R Extra Fine Watch Cleaner. But it has to come from Brisbane by road, 1,700 kilometres away, hopefully here tomorrow or Monday. I looked at all of the wiring and it's an eye opener. Everything is well insulated (1950s style) and as we say in Oz, "built like a brick sh!thouse". The three jars had a lot of dried residue in the so I put them in the dishwasher. They came out like new, all sparky clean! I just hope Annie doesn't notice the slight chemical smell in the dishwasher, maybe I'll get one of those lemon scented things and slip it in there tomorrow :D More to come..............................

I got this at a junk shop for $25. I tore it down, replaced a broken mainspring, cleaned her up and she actually ticks fairly nice. This is a Waltham model 1892, 18s, 17j, A.T.& Co.

Remarkable find and lovely movement just patiently waiting for you in the shop to fix and service. Excellent, Vic
