Antique Seikosha Wall Clock Repair Pt 1, updated version

[@burakdag7976]

Merhaba Türkiye'den selamlar. Üstadım dikiş makinaları için üretilen Singer makina yağını bu saatlerde kullanabilir miyiz?

[@time4clocks]

Hello. If that is the only oil you have it would be better than nothing. Some use synthetic car oil 10-40. Never use any oil that has Sulphur in it. There is oil made specifically for clocks but don't know if it is available in your country. If you can find a shop that repairs clocks they might sell you some oil. Hope that helps.

@@time4clocks teşekkürler efendim. Türkiye saat yağı temin etmek çok zor. internetten sipariş vereceğim fakat fahiş fiyatlara Çin'den geliyor... saatçiler bile artık bu saatlerle ilgilenmiyor, quartz saate döndü hepsi. Saat yağı bulamazsam da tavsiyenize uyup 10-40 sentetik yağı kullanmak en mantıklısı....

do I need to oil the springs ?

[@time4clocks]

Yes, all springs need some oil. Not dripping oil, but lightly coated, so as they wind and unwind the coils slip against each other.

I was gifted a Seikosha wall clock by my Buy Nothing group. The case is in poor shape but I'm hopeful the inner works are just needing cleaned. Your video series is going to be my guide. Thank you so much!

I hope you will be successful with your Seikosha Clock!! 🌷

Many thanks Ab. To mention me and the Seikosha clock I inherited from my father was a pleasant thought from you, a dear friend to my heart. May you and your loved ones be blessed with happiness.

01/12/1935!!!

[@time4clocks]

Yes, 1935 was the date it received repair or servicing. I think it was made between 1915-1920 in the Taisho era.

[@trankhanh4320]

@@time4clocks Yes! Seikosha was produced before 1923, after 1923 Seiko!

Thank you Catchwitt! Always nice to meet someone that loves old clocks!

[@ericcasagrande]

Your channel was recommended by Scott (Old Curiosity Shop). Interesting video. I don't know how you will remember where all the screws go, afterwards. (LOL)

[@time4clocks]

Truthfully Eric, sometimes I don't! If I get too confused I'll look at the video. Taking pictures of everything first certainly helps!!!

[@shirakamichannel5845]

This style clock is sold for about 30$ in Japan😭😭

[@time4clocks]

Thank you. I enjoy the history of clocks also. In Japan I'm sure many nice clocks can be found easily.

[@fintan3563]

Beautiful sentiment at the end. Your work bench is so clean and orderly! I just found your site. 👍👍👍

[@time4clocks]

Thank you Fintan! Appreciate the kind words! I had a messy shop for years until I couldn't stand it anymore!!! Clean is so much better!!

[@ethangilcrease4198]

Good to see you again! Some of us clock geeks were worried about you. As always I enjoy your video's!

[@time4clocks]

Thank you Ethan! I'm honored to have you as a respected viewer again! Your kind words are much appreciated! -Ab

[@fabienlamour3644]

Just for fun and for our knowledge can you give a price for a restoration like this one....(circa)? It's so delicate work....

[@time4clocks]

Hi Fabien! You have to remember I do not repair clocks for a living. A shop would charge hundreds. One subscriber took an old alarm clock into a shop to get a price quote and was told $350. The clock was only worth about $60. A shop has to get paid and usually charges by the hour $$$. My repairs are done for the joy of doing them, nothing else. Hope that helps! -Ab.

@@time4clocks wow!!! Better to learn how to do by ourselves...😁😁😁👍👍👍👍 Thank's Ab for the info. We'll learn by watching your skills...

[@JJs_Horological_Collection]

Great video! I just got a seikosha clock just like this one for £10. It has the same face!

[@time4clocks]

Thank you, JJ. You got a good deal for £10. These are really nice clocks and don't take up too much room. I've seen models with this same face and it seems they used the same design for several years.

[@JJs_Horological_Collection]

Thanks! I was wondering if you know when this one was made?

[@time4clocks]

@@JJs_Horological_Collection It's only a guess, but I think it is around 1920 or slightly earlier.

[@JJs_Horological_Collection]

@@time4clocks thanks! I appreciate the info.

[@JJs_Horological_Collection]

I really do love your clocks! They are amazing! I also collect them but yours are great!
