Great job!

Unfortunately, from about 24 minutes in your hands completely obscured what you were doing

Thank you Mark. I have just taken apart, cleaned and replaced everything in my late grandparents clock. It is very similar to the one you show in this video. We are not sure of the date but think it is late 19c. Name on the clock is Henry Barrett, Pembroke-Dock. So we think he was a Welsh clockmaker. On the door in pencil is a date of 21st May 90 which we think might be the notation of a clock-maker who cleaned it. My Uncle has a register of English clockmakers from the later 1600s to 1880 and he is not listed in there. All of which suggests a manufacture of about 1880. The clock has not worked for years and was quite dirty. When I put it on a trial stand the sound was an irregular Tick TOCK and when I saw you bend the crutch to adjust the beat I did the same. The rhythm is now regular and the clock ran all night. Many thanks for recording the whole process

Hi Mark, I'm 75 and retired in Florida. I started collecting clocks a year ago and just purchased a non working 1750-1785 grandfather clock with similar if not identical works to the one in this video. I'm fascinated with the "engineering" of the folks who originally made these. I believe mine is original and needs a refurbishment similar to the one you are working on in this video. I've this video probably 6 times and see something new every time. Way back, my undergraduate engineering degree came for Worcester Polytechnic institute where I graduated 53 years ago in 1972. I have a question. Would you be able to clean, bush, oil, change cables and assemble mine and what would be the approximate cost and lead-time? If you're too busy, maybe you know someone in central Florida? Thanks for your time. Let me know what additional information you need. Regards, Mark

Nice. I picked one up for 20 bucks at a swap meet and have been getting it cleaned up. Thanks for the video.

It's too bad I don't have a time machine. I'd love to travel back in time to when I was 16, and find a kindly old clock maker to teach me how to repair clocks. What a wasted life I have.

Hi Mark, Just watched you video for the first time. Great job! I'm a new enthusiast, having transitioned from my hobby of restoring cars. At 75, I'm enjoying my new hobby of antique clocks and now have 15 of them. I recently acquired a very similar clock to the one you have highlighted in this video and found the information to be extremely helpful. I'll check out your other videos as well. I notice this video is 3 years old. Are you still active? I live in Citrus County Florida. I'm sure I could use your assistance if you're local. Regards, Mark

ILUMINACAÇÃO RUIM.

Do you have a repair service for the 124 Seth Thomas We have one that needs repair!

A very useful video. Many thanks.

Just learning with a Howard Miller UW03110B triple chime. Thank you for this video.

It is nice work .l could learn alot from you.thank you very much sir.❤

Great video and a great hobby or profession thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise, I tried to get my clock looked at and there are very few shops about so I have just lightly refurbished with a couple of bushes our family long case from 1747 and now ready to go for an other 250 years! ....and keeps perfect time to the pips on the BBC

I have an early 1917 Herschede tall clock in original working order. recently the hour striker control string broke. Your video helped me a lot. thanks.

Great film! How did you clean the bell? Thanks!

I was looking to find out if my William Smith long case clock which I have inherited should have a half hour strike and I did something wrong during the set up. You answered that question I think 17:39. I really thought remembering that there was a half hour single strike at my gradparents place however there is none now and I can not find a hint for one in the movement. Thank you!

Mark Iam doing a double fusee, But the number 16 let down was to small. What key do u use for that clock. Thanks Matt

У вас є чому вчитися 😊❤

no music

Thanks for the video, I'd stripped and rebuilt my quail, cuckoo not knowing why it would not stop cuckooing, approx 45mins into your video had the answer, the pin that drops into the count wheel was less than 1/2mm out of align, so bent it out a fraction and now cuckooing perfectly, thanks for the video

Very nice never seen anything like this.

Very nice !!!

Very nice video with lots of details !!!

I just purchased a Herschede Sheffield model 290 9 tube can’t wait for it to be delivered next weekend.

Glad I came across this video. I love anything clock related

A great help, I bought a 'barn find' English late georgian longcase five pillar movement with rack hook lever missing that I had to make and the gathering pallet was worn and had to have new one made, a real test of patience. Given cost of horological overhaul and fall in value of these clocks sadly only the enthusiast repairer will save them from conversion to Quartz or Hermle movements.

Ok, so for the pendulum lenght, doesn't the leaf adjust up and down? How can you get a correct pendulum length measurement, if the leaf has been moved up or down to adjust the clock speed?

Does it strike the hour on a gong?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I don't know how you can separate the plates to sync the timing without all the other wheels falling out. You didn't appear to do anything differently to what I do. Is there a secret ?

Thank You for your video. On French clocks do you still insert the new bushing from inside of the movement? I have seen videos people doing it from the outside.

The bells on this clock sound really nice. You did a lot less cussing and swearing than I would have done when you realized the pin barrel needs to go between the plates. It's helpful to hear your thought process as you go along. Thanks for sharing.

Some really great advice and observations there.

Try nitrile gloves, much nicer to work in.

I hope the lady beetle got out safely!

Came across this video by accident. But have to say thoroughly enjoyed following you with the assembly. Thank you for sharing.

This a very interesting and unusual and high-end clock with the extra thick plates and the fusees and the choice of two tunes on the chime side and the nested bells. Do you have any idea when it was made? Clearly the owner has brought it to the right guy to service it. If your experience is anything like mine, putting the clock back together will be harder than taking it apart was, especially if you are fussy about technical details like whether the reassembled clock works or not. I can't wait to see Part 2.

Вітаю, дякую вам за працю 😊❤

Hello, love your video. But I could really use the four clamp on stands that you use in your video, can you tell me how to buy them. Thank you

Дякую вам за працю 😊

I have the same drill bits with the same torn sticker lol

Mark I really enjoy your videos. Is there any chance you can give us more camera closeups of the fiddly bits. I know it is a big ask but we don't actually get to see what you are doing. Even if you only paused and put the clock nearer to the camera and pointed to the item you are "tweaking" or adjusting. 🤞🏻

Thank you for the video. I have a regulator wall clock that has Mon-Sun. incorporated on the glass. Each day, a brass piece tells the day. Do you know where to get that brass piece?

🕰️🕰️🕰️🕰️🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🤩😁😀🤗😊🤝👍🙏

Enjoyable to watch.

Last summer my wife and I were in Mass to pick up an Ansonia crystal regulator ( in our Miata ) and the seller said - oh if you like clocks you should go to Delaney’s clock shop it’s only a 1/2 mile up the road ! a suffice to say we spent a couple very enjoyable hrs at Delaney’s browsing the clocks.

Most informative video. I have one where a chain came off. Now I feel brave enough to try to put it back on. Thank you

Great video. I am working on a similar Sears quail for a friend. Likely a similar movement. (Marked Sears but was made in Germany.). This will be very helpful in setting the timing of everything back up. Thanks!!

Parabéns belo trabalho , òtima manutenção. Graziez (Brésil)

Some 113 Thomas have double clicks. How do you know which models have the double click feature? What was the criteria on them? Using double clicks and sometimes not using them. It's because some put in wall clocks and others on mantle?
