In fact I just fix the solenoid and contact and "fuse" and don't 
usually try to clean the works at all. A friend here who works on 
clocks, as well as a watch repairman I know, say that while the old 
method of soaking and swishing the complete assembly was 
standard proceedure for decades, it is not nearly as good as 
disassembly and individual cleaning. I suspect that they would look 
down with dismay at what I DON'T do.

Then again, to do it right, with a thorough cleaning all the way thru, 
is bound to be much more expensive, and at some point you just 
have to ask how much this cheap old clockworks is worth....

The fact is that they were never very good, although the late ones 
were better than the early ones.
