Question
Do you have, or can you tell me where I can find, a diagram of a pendulum-driven grandfather clock movement? I'm in the process of lubricating my clock, but I'm having trouble identifying some of the parts named in the lubricating instructions. A generic diagram may be sufficient, but if not, the movement in my clock is a Kieninger, no. 9417430612 (stamped under the Kieninger name)....other numbers stamped under the Kieninger logo are MS008, 116 cm, 354 435.

      Thanks

Answer
I have not been able to find a parts diagram that will tell you the names of the parts needing oiling. You could buy a clock repair book like Balcomb's "The clock repair primer". Or; There are some videos on youtube.com like: How to oil a clock movement
I think you will find the information you are looking for there.
