Been there done that - I was horrified when My Father told me he sprayed WD40 on his Grandfather clock to get it working again. Yeah - it worked for about a month then quit forever. After he died I got a professional to come out to clean it - cost $300 but now it runs flawlessly.</p><p>Verdict was "gummed up" gears from the wrong lubricant with dust build up and CAT HAIR!!!!!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: The clock is still working now - my dad?
