Question
QUESTION: we inherited this clock but it seems we are missing a tool
for the weekly winding of the winding posts. If there is
such a tool, how can we obtain one or is their something
else that can be used in its place.



ANSWER: You need a winding key. Please give me any markings stamped on the backplate of the movement and I should be able to help you pick the correct size.
