Cleaned up some of the crud

First went in and scrubbed off the thickest nastiest gunk with a stick

Then scrubbed everything down in naphtha, which dissolves oil

After that it gets rinsed in alcohol, then cleaned in a watch cleaning solution for 20 minutes in an ultrasonic cleaner. Then rinsed in water, rinsed in 99% alcohol, and dried.

I think this is about as clean as it's going to get. Lots of marks and exposed brass here

I also cleaned the case and even the screws. Jewels, balance and pallet fork will be cleaned separately in a safer solution.

Now time for inspection and reassembly
