In detail: wall clock amber DIY repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
The factory producing most of the large-sized watches in the USSR was the Oryol Watch Factory. On many watches on the dial was the abbreviated name of this plant "OCHZ". The factory began to produce watches Amber in the late 60s. The watch became very popular among the citizens of the Soviet Union. Nowadays, they still use this watch, this speaks of the good quality of the mechanism, because with proper operation and timely prevention, the Amber watch with a pendulum can last at least 100 years. A watch was brought to the Fullfix watch center for repair after a long stay in the attic. Corrosion has strongly eaten the chrome-plated elements of the case, we will carry out restoration and repair of watches. Let's start with the watch case.
As you can see, there are traces of paint on the body, most likely due to storage in the attic, corrosion has appeared on the chrome parts.
The condition of the case and chrome-plated parts leaves much to be desired, there is also corrosion on the dial elements.
The pendulum is covered with a layer of rust.
We will remove rust from the case and dial elements by polishing with abrasive wheels.
Let's pay attention to the striking strings of our clocks, as we can see the time also did not pass them by, we will carry out the restoration of the "voice", our clocks.
From the exterior of the watch, let's move on to the internal mechanism. Dust has adhered to the old watch oil and an unpleasant "mess" has formed, we will disassemble and clean everything.
In the process of parsing, we notice the absence of a pawl spring on the mechanism. Repairing antique pendulum clocks is not an easy task these days, you have to make some spare parts yourself, as new ones can no longer be found. We make the spring ourselves and solder the missing end to the old piece in platinum.

We disassemble the watch and wash everything in a special solution.
We assemble and lubricate the mechanism.
We insert the mechanism with the dial into the watch.
After restoration, the watch took its original appearance, the watchmaker №1 in Sokolniki Fullfix coped with its work perfectly.
The striking wall pendulum clock is a household clock. In terms of accuracy, they satisfy the need for measuring time in everyday life. The watch has a device for striking a clock and half an hour.
After unpacking the watch, free the pendulum from the holders. It is not recommended to take the pendulum by the load with unprotected hands, in order to avoid corrosion and oxidation of it.
Hang the clock on a wall away from windows and heating systems.
Remove the shipping bar from the sound strings.
Move the fight fence lever (if there is one).
5. Carefully place the pendulum on the hanger with the hanging hook.
6. Set the watch so that the pendulum rod is parallel to the back wall of the case. Parallelism can be achieved by rotating the set screws on the bottom of the case.
7. To wind the chime, insert the key into the left hole on the dial, winding is done clockwise. Move the key to the right hole and insert the travel spring as far as it will go. The watch must be wound every two weeks. For two weeks of operation of the watch, the power spring unwinds by 6 full revolutions, the striking spring unwinds by 5.65 revolutions. ! When winding the watch, be careful not to knock the case to the side.
8. To start the clock, take the pendulum to the side and release it smoothly, the movement should be rhythmic. If this is not observed, carefully move the lower part of the watch case to the right or left, achieve rhythmic strokes of the movement. ! If you cannot achieve the rhythm of the movement by moving the watch case, you should contact the watchmaker.
9.Set the exact time by turning the minute hand. If the hands diverge, set the minute hand to the “12” position, and adjust the hour hand by turning it to the left or right. ! When rotating the minute hand, it is advisable to stop it at the “6” and “12” positions, and enable the clock to strike the hours and half hours.
Adjusting the accuracy of the wall, grandfather clock
If the clock is inaccurate, it is adjusted by moving the weight of the pendulum. If the watch lags behind, the weight must be lifted up by turning the adjusting screw clockwise, if the watch is in a hurry, lower the weight in the same way, counterclockwise. One full turn of the adjusting screw corresponds to a change in stroke of one minute per day.
In order to prevent damage to the watch, when adjusting the stroke, the pendulum must be removed from the suspension.
A dry, heated room is required to store or use wall clocks, floor clocks. It is not allowed to store watches in the same room with substances or materials causing their corrosion.
A watch with a suspended pendulum must never be carried.
The watch mechanism is lubricated with special watch oil brands MC-3 and PS-4. The service life of the oil is 3 years, during which time it is recommended to clean and lubricate the mechanism. Replacing the oil of the indicated brands with others is not permissible.
To avoid voiding the warranty, it is not recommended to lubricate, disassemble or repair the watch yourself.

For many years now, we have had a wall clock with a Soviet-made pendulum hanging in our houses. Hanging, but not walking. After winding the springs and starting the pendulum, they stop and do not move, so I decided to fix them. It took me a lot of time, I will try to briefly tell you about it.
On the advice of dear members of the forum, I took off the dial and hands, unscrewed the anchor and set the mechanism to soak in Kalosha gasoline. After that, they had to go, but still something interfered with the move.
After repeated attempts to start the clock, I "hammered" a little on them. But the other day, passing through the courtyard, I saw a thrown out watch. Amber, also pendulum, but without a fight and the pendulum itself. But in them there was a detail on which the pendulum itself is attached, and the same one as in my watch. Naturally, I picked them up. I had doubts about this part for a long time, it was all wrinkled, loosened, in general, with signs of use.
So, having replaced the pendulum holder and the rope on which it is hung, I tried to start the mechanism. And lo and behold - the clock has gone. True, five minutes later they got up again. But it was 5 minutes!
After repeated advice with members of the forum, I aligned the clock not by a plumb line, as I had done earlier, but by ear, to a uniform "tick-tock". And the clock went on. Now it's okay, without stopping. Adjusted the hammers for the right fight, now they signal to me the new hour has arrived.

Thanks to all who responded. Yuri, the “V-shaped” lever, I secured it properly, it works fine, the point is different, but what exactly I cannot understand, the entire fighting mechanism (comb, lever, etc.) seems to be working fine. but
Vovik. If I understood you correctly, I need to remove the drum (left from the front side) and pull out the spring and clean it? I just do not understand these terms a little bit (CV joint 4 for example).
Why can't a person find the videos they want on Youtube? The thing is that a person cannot come up with something new and look for it. He was out of fantasy. He has already watched a lot of various channels, and he no longer wants to watch anything (from what he watched earlier), but what to do in this situation? In order to find a Youtube video that suits your needs, it is imperative to keep searching. The harder your search is, the better your search result will be. Remember that you only need to find a few channels (interesting), and you can watch them for a whole week or even a month. Therefore, in the absence of imagination and unwillingness to search, you can ask your friends and acquaintances what they are looking at on Youtube. Perhaps they will suggest original vloggers that they like. You, too, may like them, and you will become their subscriber!
