Reply To: How to refine the mechanism of a Gilbert Mantel Clock

[arutha]

Two more questions about the case of this clock, the feet have remains of red paint on them, I have searched through hundreds of Gilbert images but have only seen the metal case decoration in gold. Also it has fake red marble panels either side of the face, the varnish used has bubbled quite badly and is yellowing, is there a safe way to remove the old varnish without destroying the fake marble?
