    Hi Chaplin37,
    If you are able to wind the mainspring fully then it’s something else. That’s not to say that the mainspring is in good condition as it could be set. Even then it should deliver enough power at full wind to get a watch running that’s in otherwise good condition. There are many conditions ranging from dirt to broken parts that can prevent it from running. A thorough inspection will most likely reveal the problem (or problems).
    Let us know what you find out or if you have more questions as you go.
    Have fun Chaplin37,
    Bob
