Very good and concise description of how to carry out this service.

Nice to see you Back, what a beautiful clock and well presented video I hope to see more, all the best

[@BrackenClockWorks]

Thank you kindly!

Very interesting video, was curious exactly how the Atmos worked. That’s one crazy looking pallet fork and what looks like a post is used for banking pins to limit the forks movement. Thank you for the video!

[@jasonwong2494]

this is amazing! i am getting a atmos because of this video

[@rasheedpm1063]

👍Wow !! what a precision in your skill really flourishing my mind ❤

[@BrackenClockWorks]

Thank you very much!

[@Wendy3Dimensional]

What a beautiful clock!

[@DavidMucci-v8k]

Really nice job on this Video. I service Atmos clocks and I enjoyed watching this. The only thing I didn't see was you poising the fork. I always do that. Maybe you did it off camera? Anyway I have been following you since your Seth Thomas videos (which I enjoyed as well!) and I am enjoying watching you grow. Well done.

[@BrackenClockWorks]

Ah yes good eye, sir!! This video was shot back in August and got a new computer since then and the video file for that got lost during the migration (as did another part showing cleaning the top of the case and setting it in place).

Where are you located at? How much would it cost for a full service. The clock I have is this exact clock in the video.

[@BrackenClockWorks]

Send me a message via the email link on my channel, or through the Bracken ClockWorks facebook/instagram

Will do. Thank you sir.

Thanks a lot for this video

[@haensu99]

Hello. What type of Special Tool you use to remove the hands? I am looking for this tool? Thank you for your answer

[@liubei106]

Nice Seiko 6138

[@BrackenClockWorks]

Good eye!! Thank you!

[@DarrellSambor]

Great video. Which liquid do you use in the washer to protect the finish?

[@BrackenClockWorks]

I use L&R #566, which is a non-ammoniated watch cleaning solution, as well as L&R #3 rinsing solution. I haven't had any issues with it removing any finish or lacquer as long as heat isn't involved. Thanks!!

[@Domingo-Ruiz]

Grande!!!!

[@Willandern]

Thank you for a great video. I have a quick question. I recently had a 528 serviced. When it came back it keeps great time, but I've noticed the protruding little wire on the top is gone. I see the one in this video has one, as did my previous newer Atmos with a calendar and moonphase. What is the purpose of the little "hair" on top, and is it wrong not to have one up there?

[@BrackenClockWorks]

That is the top of the suspension spring, and it's best to leave it long on top to allow for adjustments later in case of it needing another service. I recently ran across a similar one, but not only was the top of the suspension spring cut off, so was the top of the tapered pin that holds it in place. In order to remove it, I actually had to take the entire clock apart and break the suspension spring to remove it, then replace it. But it's best practice to leave it long.

[@DenWarrenMusic]

Do you have a shop? Most repair places discontinued repairing Atmos clocks.

[@BrackenClockWorks]

That is most unfortunate!!! While I am currently affiliated with a repair shop, I do all Atmos repairs in my home shop due to their delicate nature and my specific setup. There's less of a chance for things to go wrong, limited interruption, and I can keep a better eye on them.

[@davedsn63]

Are you hopefully located in NJ ? if not can you recommend a reputable atmos service personnel in NJ. I have a 40 year old clock that is clean as a whistel but not working. I think it just needs a GOOD service cleaning like you just performed.

[@BrackenClockWorks]

I am located in Cleveland, OH. And, unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with anyone in the NJ area that can help. Good luck in your search!

[@albertosojuaco]

I’m just wondering most of diy I see in KZbin are wearing gloves - is this not necessary? Ty

[@BrackenClockWorks]

It is definitely best practice to wear gloves. I know there were some parts where I didn’t, but wearing gloves helps protect the finish of the case. Skin oils will damage the finish over time and cause blemishes. Thanks!

[@rogerparkington3837]

you didn't mention poising the fork. This is the most difficult adjustment and is a frequent cause of the clock nut running.

[@BrackenClockWorks]

Ah yes, good eye! I shot the video quite awhile before editing/posting, and during the process of transferring video files to a new computer that portion got lost, unfortunately. I may do a separate video on just that in the near future. Thanks! 😊

[@berthabaron661]

I got mine for 10$
