I still use toilet bowl cleaner on old movements. I dilute it with water and soak for about 10 min., rinse, dry and polish. It really get all the crap off brass 😆 I have used it for years to clean antique brass bladed fans. If I do end up removing lacquer from plates by mistake, I just plug the pivot holes and reshoot them. I use lacquer everday, so it really is not much of a problem 🙄 Mahlon
