[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9424147, member: 56"]The works are probably dirty and need to be cleaned. I think that taking it to a qualified repair person will cost more than the clock is worth just to open it to take a look. If shaking it can coax a few ticks, try doing and applying some backward pressure on the winder. That backward pressure might keep the ticking going. You would have to do that for some time and/or repeatedly before the spring will loosen enough to carry on by itself. Anything more than that will require opening the clock. It's probably easier just to get a clock that works. Given the design and West Germany designation, 1966 makes sense.[/QUOTE]
