Default Mains clock running fast

I think the clock has suffered from its fall. The second hand appears to be
loose and may sometimes be touching the other hands (but never when I am
watching it). If I can't fix it easily someone can buy a new clock. But it is
a nice clock.
I have recently fixed the clock outside by the tram stop. It needs to be wound
every 7 days. It was stopping because of rust on the two mainsprings. That was
probably why the other two clocks stopped working.
I found Tim's message on HomeOwnersHub, and this seems easier than Usenet that
died on me 5 years ago.
