    Problems With Analog clock

    Ok, so I finally installed my analog clock about a week ago, and It has sorta been acting up. Every so often, the clock just stops. It has done this 3 times in the past week, but the period in between them is getting longer. It starts right back up again however when I set the clock to where it is supposed to be.

    It first did it about 2 hours after I put it in.
    Then It lasted about a day, then stopped again.
    It then managed to make through about 2.5 days, then it decided to stop.
    And then after I set that, It hasn't stopped yet (its been almost 3 days)

    Is this natural? When I got it, It hadn't been moving for a while, so could it maybe be "re-breaking itself in?" If it isn't supposed to be happening, is there a way to fix it?

    That's not all that unusual, Andrew. They get dust and gunk built up over the years and the motors get slow or stop. I've brought them back by flushing the guts with WD-40 as a last resort, just don't get it on the dial and let it drip out well.

      thanks man, if it stops again I'll do that. I thought maybe it was a common thing (its 24 years old lol), I just wanted to make sure.
