Be very careful if you work on anniversary clocks.  They have very long
springs, and most of the movements are not made to be disassembled.  In
some cases, just removing the cover screws from the movement can cause
the spring to spring forth, and seriously lacerate the unsuspecting
repairman about the neck and face.

There are not shortage of clunkers in this class of clock.  Most last
just over their first anniversary, and then they are done.
