I know it's a bit of a long shot but are there any clock repairers out there? If so, can you suggest what might be my problem. I have a skeleton wall clock about 30 years old. It hasn't been serviced but I do give it a very gentle 'tickle' occasionally to get rid of any dust on the mechanism. For quite some time now it has stopped keeping good time. The strange thing is that sometimes it is fast and sometimes slow by anything up to half an hour either way on the same weekly wind-up. It's really got me baffled. If it was always fast or slow that is easy to correct with the pendulum but when it varies so wildly is totally beyond me. I can't see anything which is obviously wrong but there must be a reason for the erratic behaviour. I hope someone can help.
