right the first question I strip the clocks dawn and clean them with brasso on a button brush I will take a pic of the one I have then once all the parts have bin given a good buff its all then wash off with hot water and wash up liquid ie the stuff you do the dishes with but cover the plug hole with sum fine mesh so if you drop a smale part it doesn't go dawn the plug hole then blow dry I youse a old her dryer clean out all the pivot holes with a clean peace of wood sharpened to fit the hole and always use a clean peace for every hole as for oil clock oil is designed for clocks your dti's are not time pieces they are instruments designed for mishearing things I have had no problems with the ones that I have dun with instrument oil but had problems with ones that I used clock oil I got from the net seemed to go sticky but im not a expert I just love restoring old d.t.i 's so whatever works for you go for it |
