Clocks, Watches/RE: Gilbert HAWK kitchen clock

Expert: William J Perkins - 2/3/2009

Question
Do all clocks from this era wind the same, left hole for chiming, right hole for time? I'm trying to find a good but simple guide to oiling my Gilbert kitchen clock, but there are far too many to choose from. Any suggestions? I could take it to a shop, but I love to do my own work in everything if possible.

Answer
There is a owner's oiling kit available. It includes lubricant and instructions. Just what you need. Goto <howtorepairclocks.com/clock-oil.html> No clocks do not have the same winding configuration although the vast majority are as you describe. Hope this helps you. Refards WJP
