Default 1940 Ford Westclox Clock Repairs

What’s this about you’re wondering? My Westclox has served me well until the last two seasons. This year I removed it to find out why it stopped working even though I had a fully wound clock. This clock was professionally repaired 30 or 40 years ago but quit on me this year. Attached is a write-up of my successful repair.
