Dealing with Frankenstein's Monster of a Clock Movement

A movement from an OG clock was modified by someone to fit a "grandfather" clock. Repairs enough to make it function are done. This is an example of the kind of butchery that is sometimes done to movements.

This movement looked more like a Borg than a Frankenstein. Your analysis and problem solving is amazing. I hope the client watches the video and appreciated your efforts. I've missed your content and look forward to more.

I've been too busy to edit and publish videos. I'm WAY behind.

Its always a pleasure to see you work Mr perry but wow you went beyond call on that movement. Nice work on your part thanks for sharing

I guess if I had 2 weeks of solitary confinement in jail, I would attempt this job.

[@justmike57]

Who ever did the modifications, went through a lot of work to change it to what they wanted. It's a shame for just how old the movement is.

[@darrylpoovey9125]

Wow, what Butchery! I don’t think I would’ve attempted to repair any of it for a customer. Kudos to you for what you did!

[@Mango-y5h]

Hey Perry I’m one off the kids at the school next door Mr Anderson told me you’re channels name by the way I’ve been to your pond ITS SO COOL I just wanted to let you know that you’re so successful🎉

[@dperry428]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the comment.

[@1pilotsteve]

I think you did a pretty good job... certainly used many of your skills.

[@dperry428]

Thanks.

[@jdretiree2433]

I'm no clock maker, but even I could tell someone has been messing with that movement that shouldn't have been.

[@shanejones7331]

Especially a lyre movement

Cider ? oh, solder 👍🏻

[@dperry428]

Who said cider? Or are you British and don't know how Americans pronounce solder?

[@rehorneman]

WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK But what fun it would be to bring it back to life! Too bad you would have to charge about $600.00 to do it. Did you straighten the bent pivot? I love watching you work but this was very frustrating I wonder what the owner will do with it? Obviously it had been worked on many many times.

[@dperry428]

Actually, I did a lot more with this -- straightened bent pivot, flattened and trued up wheels that wobbled, corrected the problem with the pins on the strike wheel rubbing on another wheel. This was actually done for a clock shop that returned it to its case and then to its owner. I don't charge for repairs. Don't want to keep books. I make my money from the videos and ask people to make a donation to our local food pantry for the work I do.

@@dperry428 Hi Mr Perry I have a Waterbury ,Patented 1910 ,movement. that I have cleaned and partially assembled. I would love to see you do video on how you would inspect it how you would reassemble it. If you would consider doing it please send a PM and we could discuss it.
