Back in 2022, I fixed
Back in 2022, I fixed this Gilbert clock and got it running again, but I didn't do everything right. There were hundreds of comments, and many pointed out various mistakes I made. I've learned more since then, have better tools/equipment, and thought now was the time to try again.

Here's a summary of some of the mistakes I previously made:
1. I used the wrong oil on the pivots.
2. I used white lithium grease.
3. I didn't clean and lubricate the mainsprings (this was deliberate as I didn't have the skills or tools to do so).
4. I didn't properly clean the pivot holes.
5. I used the wrong tool to remove the nuts.
6. I should have used slotted screws to be consistent with the era of the clock.
I addressed each of these issues in this video. I'm sure I still didn't get everything perfect, but it's better to try again than not at all.
