Time spent in the workshop today was all about cleaning the Smiths A1866 movement parts ready for reassembling.

The dirty and oily parts needed plenty of cleaning, three turns in the ultrasonic cleaner plus using peg wood to clean the jewel holes etc.

Now the Jewels are back there shiny ruby colour and clean. The pivots on the train wheels cleaned up ok, and the pinions look fine.
