VR-168 3 month Vienna Regulator by Franz Effenberger
This is a clock I sold that ran for 12 years with no problem. It then stopped, where upon the owner took it to a local clock repair person who did some truly poor bushing work. He then sent it to a shop to grind the pallets. The second shop did more truly poor work, at which point the clock had no chance of running. It was then, finally sent to me for repair. I wrote an article about the work done by the two shops - check it out The Case of the Altered Anchor

These three pictures show the really crap bushing work that was done by a clock repair person. I find that most clock repair folk, when they can't get a mechanism to run, automatically start bushing any and every pivot. And then, after they do really really poor work they wonder why it won't run. This mechanism was blessed with both crap bushing work and really bad pallet and escape-wheel work.
