Service time

My 116610LV is finally in need of a service. It is losing a couple of minutes a day and when I hand wind it feels as if the barrel grease has congealed. Not sure if it is just a matter of inconsistent tension on the train gears from the mainspring or if all of the oils have dried up. Looking for recommendations on service from a solid independent, perhaps a member. Thanks TRF.

You live where one of the premier Service Centers calls home, why are you set on an independent?

Of course, over on the Tech Board we have a list of several good Independents.
