Question
i was once told not to fuss with the clock until it needs service. I need some instruction in doing what i call 10 year maintainence. If it would be tough to walk me thru it, where could I get a manual - whoose book is best subject wise?  I am thinking a drop of light oil on each moving part should suffice. Its 35 years young... thanks for anything you can do... Sean

Answer
after 35 years the mechanism is most probably worn and oiling will not get it going again - My professional suggestion is to replace the movement with a new one from the same company- most probably Hermle
the part number is on the back brass plate of the mechanism.
