Thank you very much for posting this. My 41S movement was very clean and I'm hoping I can get by without ultrasonically cleaning it. So far, so good. I used an on-line oil for clocks that has a very tiny oil tube and it's difficult to get more than a drop at a time, so don't worry, I didn't use 10W 30! Thanks again. Clock repair-people are rare in my area, and probably everywhere, so that's why I ventured on my own. Thanks again.
Hey Scottie, thanks for your channel and video's, it's a valuable resource. I have what appears to be the same movement from a clock that has patented july 30 1878 and the ST logo on the roman numeralled face, it has a tapered pin holding the hands on. It's a glass fronted curved top design in solid timber possibly rosewood or walnut, maybe mahogany. It has a gold 'fancy' pendulum with an imitation mercury chromed cylinder in the middle. From the what I've found the case, is the same as the ST city series 'Chicago' but the face and pendulum are different the hands are the same. Any ideas on the date of the clock from you or your viewers, Thanks.
I never regret using a separate pin for oiling clocks. (I literally just use a small nail glued to a dollar store screwdriver!) There's no way to regulate the oil with an oil bottle.
Yes, oil bottles should not be used when oiling clocks for the reason you mentioned. The Welch clock I am currently working on was a great example of over oiling, Thick black oil residue caked to many of the pivots, even the lower plate nuts, the suspension spring and the hammer.

Great Job Sir!
Thanks.

If the clock face and pendulum look new they are probably replacements. I haven't see the model you are describing.
