Condition Report

The movement winds and a ratchet sound is audible.

The controls seem to make no difference to the mechanism and the movement only runs when the roller arm that locates over the disc is loosened or removed and then replaced in position.

The movement runs for a little while and then stops.

This item will require work to make good.

Here is a link to two short videos of the item being wound and one of it working to its full extent.
