Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and clock repair. I just cleaned a "John Wanamaker" clock, not sure what to call it but is covered by a glass dome. After drying, some of the parts had a spoty white film on them, mostly the plates and were sticky. I cleaned all that off but not sure if the plates should be coated with a Lacquer or something. I'm thinking someone may have put polish on to make the parts shine.
Is it nessary to coat the plates?
If so what do I use?
Are there certain clocks that have a coating on some parts?
Any advice would be helpful,
Thank You
