The link is in the description, but that app is no longer in Google Play. You can email me, and I'll send you the version I have, or you can try play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lelloman.com.simplebpmdetector My email: [email protected]

@@WatchOverhaul cool! is there any chance that you maybe have an app for ios? cause as of now my entire family uses apple and my android from 2016 is smoked so uh anyways thanks for the information! love from malaysia!

​@@abe_nuh, I don't know of a good app for iPhone, but all you really need is an app that can detect beats. So, try searching for "beat rate detector" or something like that. You still need to know what beat rate to expect by doing the calculation on your movement like I showed in the video.

@@WatchOverhaul there is definitely an app for that on the appstore but the only problem is that it costs 200MYR or 47USD

Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful! Let me know if you have any questions once you get into it. Thanks for watching!

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

Yeah, that's a good point. I didn't think about that at the time. I'll have to keep that in mind for the next one! Thanks for watching!

@@WatchOverhaul you’re welcome!

I've read about using ammonia. I might try that sometime. Thanks for watching!

The simple green does not make the plates shiny and might confuse repair people to believe it hasn’t been cleaned in a while

If you still wanna go with the simple green route mix it with 2 cups of acetone

Thanks for the "Super Thanks"! So, the main reason I didn't use your formula on this clock is because I didn't necessarily want the movement to look very shiny and new. This is my personal clock that's been passed down many times and has sentimental value to me. I like that it looks antique, and making the movement look like it was made yesterday would ruin some of its charm and erase some of its aging characteristics. I do want to try the formula, though. I like the idea of making everything bright and shiny again, but just not on my clock. I will probably be able to try it on the next one.

That's a really good idea! I'll have to try that. Thanks for watching!

At the moment, I'm cautiously trusting the zip ties, and I hope it doesn't come back to bite me. From my research, there seems to be a few pounds of force required to retain a wound mainspring. Since each zip tie has a tensile strength of 60 lbs, I thought I would be in good shape. I've read that you can easily hold a spring in your hand and keep it wound. There is a nice discussion here about this topic: mb.nawcc.org/threads/restraining-mainsprings.136308. I also noticed the hands are different on this clock compared to pictures of the same clock I've found online and that the decal is missing. I might replace the hands one day, but the decal is tricky. I couldn't seem to find a common decal that was used for this exact clock, and I didn't want to put some rogue decal on. Thanks for taking the time to reach out!

Send me an email at [email protected] and I'll send you the apk. I don't know why it's not in the play store anymore.

@@WatchOverhaul okay

Thanks! I thought about painting them, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I kind of like how they look a little worn out - it's consistent with it's age. Thanks for watching!

Hey! Thanks! Yeah, things have been pretty busy for me the last few years, and it's been hard to find free time to do fun stuff like this. Thanks for sticking around and watching!

Thanks! That problem might be just as simple as removing the hands and adjusting them a bit. They could have slipped a little out of place. Thanks for watching!

@@WatchOverhaul thank you sir

Thanks for sharing that 🙂. I might try something else once I run out of the crystal simple green. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!

Thanks 👍

You could, and there are people that just do the dunk and swish method, but it doesn't really get everything clean, especially the important areas like the pivot holes. The cleaning solution can also get trapped in certain areas and not dry fast enough - rust can quickly form on steel parts. If the mainsprings are in barrels, then I'm sure moisture would certainly get trapped. You can't properly clean and lubricate the mainsprings without taking them out of the movement. You can't properly clean and inspect the pivot holes and inspect all the parts without fully disassembling the movement. It's not just about cleaning. It's also about finding where the problems are. Just dunking the assembled movement, trying to dry it off, and calling it clean might work in the short-term, but any remaining dirt will act as an abrasive and shorten the life of the movement. Cleaning without disassembling the movement is like taking a shower with your clothes on. You might look clean, but I bet some important areas were missed. Thanks for the question and for watching!

@@WatchOverhaul wow, great points! I did not think of this. Thanks much!

​@idv1328 No problem!

Haha, yeah. If I don't ruin someone's day at least once per video, then I'm not doing my job correctly :). I figured since I was getting rid of those screws it didn't matter, but I'm sure someone is going to be triggered. Thanks for watching!

That's strange. It used to be there. I can't find it anymore either, but it's on my phone. If you google "Nitzan Hamzani cuckoo clock calibration", you might find the apk to download, but some of the download sites look sketch.

I was able to save off the apk on my phone. I can email it to you if you want. Email me at [email protected] and I can send it.

Same. I would like to have it!

same :/// i need it too really bad my clock badly ticks and idk where to adjust it

Send me an email at [email protected] and I'll send you the apk. I don't know why it's not in the play store anymore.

Thanks!

Haha, thanks for watching!

Yeah, when I looked into it, many people used tyvek, so that is what I used. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

That's crazy! If it's still not running correctly, maybe you can try to fix it. I'm not at all an expert, and I can manage to get things running again. Just takes a little time and patience. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed comments and suggestions!

Yeah, I just haven't got around to it yet. The zip ties seem to work nice, but spring clamps would be better. Thanks for watching!

@@WatchOverhaulyeah not trying to be rude but the zip ties could break

👍

Thanks!

Yeah, I need a bigger ultrasonic cleaner. Maybe one of these days. I don't feel like it's my place to divulge Dave's location. He might not want that information public. You might be able to tag him and see if he responds, though. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!

@@WatchOverhaul I didnt expect you to divulge his location or contact info ... Kinda thinking out loud. Thanks Again for the detailed re and re of your Seth Thomas Mantle clock !!

That was many seconds ago! Thanks for watching!

Don't throw it away! Is there anything wrong with it?

@@WatchOverhaul Same problem you were having where the spring came off the catch so it unwound. That's the main issue right now. I was considering attempting to take it apart to put it back on the little post or whatever it is and use your video to put it back together correctly. I had it for sale on marketplace for two weeks for $50.00 and nobody wanted it. Not worth paying to have it fixed. So either I do it myself or toss it so it is not in my way anymore.

Hey! I can help you better with email. You can email me at [email protected].

Sounds like it needs a little work. Thanks for watching!

@@WatchOverhaul am so far from you

👍

Thanks! Mostly, I referenced the video I recorded to make sure I put things back together correctly. Plus, knowledge of how the mechanics of the clock works helps. Thanks for watching!

Good catch! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

You can try www.clockworks.com or you might find what you need on Ebay.

Thanks!

Very interesting! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

👍

If you mean, how did I figure out the actual beat rate, I used this app, play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nitzan.cuckoocalibration. It's just a clock calibration app. I had to input what the expected beat rate should be, and it will analyze the beat.

Thank you! I try to stay organized and take lots of video and images so I don't end up with extra parts, haha. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Haha. Well, it's not just grease. It's a combination of grease and dirt, which turns into a very sticky substance. It feels sticky like glue and is very hard to clean off. Thanks for watching!

I speed up much of it because if I don't, the video would be hours long. I'll see if I can slow more things in the next video. Thanks for your feedback and for watching!

If you want to slow the video down, touch the screen where the video is playing, select settings (top right corner), select playback speed, and then select one of the options above 'normal'. These will slow the video down to quarter speed (0.25), half speed (0.50), or 3/4 speed (0.75).

Thank you!
