Hello I’m to scared to disable my clock the Schat Germany clock .. I notice the pendulum metal thread is different . I don’t have metal at the end of the string thread metal is what I’m seeing from yours . Or is it necessary? Can you give any tip on hanging the pendulum or what should the metal thread to hang on pendulum look like …I just bought the clock.. And how do I attach pendulum on the thread string..

Where did you get the pendulum spring? And where would I get another glass cover?
@mherzog7 3 күн бұрын
I get the springs from the Horolovar company, you can reach them at 740-277-7083, and at stores.thehorolovarcompany.com. If you send them (or me) a photo of the back plate, they or I can tell you what clock you have and what size spring you need. The glass dome can be purchased from various clock supply companies, but they are very expensive. I have better luck finding them at thrift stores. Good luck!

I use Bruce's wood floor cleaner to clean the wood, then I use Howard's Restor-a-finish, shade walnut, to stain the case, and then give it a wax polish with Howard's Feed-n-wax.

Hi Mark! I have been watching your videos for a while on anniversary clocks and I think they are great!! I am learning a lot from you and just started getting into it. What cleaning liquid do you use to clean the clock gears and clock plates? I don’t want to use something that will remove the finish. Thank you again for making these wonderful videos! Keep them coming!😊

Thank you for your kind words. I use Dawn dish detergent in hot water, in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean the gears and other metal parts. But not the plates. Often they have a varnish coat, and it will come off in the ultrasonic. I use a toothbrush dipped in Dawn to clean the plates, rinse with hot water. You can do the same with the gears if you do not have an ultrasonic. Use toothpicks to clean the holes in the plates. Good luck!

For anyone interested in a more thorough and less destructive way to service these motors, please look at the article in NAWCC Bulletin No. 433, May/June 2018, for an article describing how these motors work and the principals of how to repair them. IMHO this is a destructive and irreversible way to get one of these motors to run, a one time fix based on damage.

Thanks, to my ear it sounded in beat. I’m not sure what you meant by ‘first’. But I put my clocks in beat, whether it’s a hanging wall clock or a 400 day clock, only after I get them to run. Then once in beat I adjust pendulum for time accuracy. Thanks for watching!

I was not able to do that on this one. The wire is so thin and hard to find the broken end. The only coils I have been able to repair so far are Hammond’s.
@SKHorology2025 Ай бұрын
that's a tragedy when coil wires come loose. Was there no way to get into the original rotor to re-solder the coil wires?
@mherzog7 Ай бұрын
Good eye. If you watch the part 2 video I did on this clock, when the first motor in it failed, I had to drill holes in the back plate to accommodate the stems that secured the clock to it. They were a bit off.
@silkytp789 Ай бұрын
Let me just say that you did a great job, and I learned a couple of things. But when you look at the finished product, the circle is off. The center of the clock is up towards the right instead of center. Other than that, good job congratulations.
@markbannister4705 Ай бұрын
Well done! I'm with you on replacing an electric on mechanical clock movement with a quartz one. When I was first starting on clock repair I found a clock with a case made by Daneker with a German movement. When I couldn't repair that movement or find a replacement; I put a quartz clock in. It's nice, but thanks to you I think I'll revisit finding a replacement movement. I hope you are able to find one suitable for this nice piece of American clock history!

I have two of these. One is my stepmother's clock (she passed many years ago) and the other is a donor I found off of ebay. The former runs a bit, then clicks and stops. Figure something in the chime/strike circuit. The donor has a stripped gear, but I can get it to move very well and chime/strike. I figure I'll take the good gear out of the first clock as I clean the donor. Although I work on vintage pocket watches, I've never done a clock. This video gives me a bit more confidence. I do wish I had seen you put the gears and top plate back in. Figure I'lltake LOTS of pictures as well. Also saw the comment below from siliconion about the chime and will try to keep that it mind.
@mherzog7 Ай бұрын
Replacing the gear is a good idea. I find these clocks to be very complex when it comes to figuring the chime aspect. Showing how I put the gears and top plate back on would have taken too much time, but just go slow, take lots of before photos, a photo each time you remove a part, etc. When you seat the plate, loosely attach the nuts that secure it, so when you tease the pivots into the bushings the plate won't pop up and cause any pivots you got into position to come out. Good luck!
@puterami123 Ай бұрын
@@mherzog7 - Appreciate the tips. I've found that the spring for the striker is broken. Not going into that half for now. I got the clock going with the changing out of the train wheels (that's what it's called in pocket watches, not sure about clocks). The donor wheels were grimy. But the clock is running and keeping time. Thanks again for your video that helped me with this.
