Mr Perry, as I said, I have the exact same.clock... This dial ring is original,well mine has the exact same ring,however I have the original dial and The paper dial was mounted on a higher density cardboard. Over the years through the decades,of course, the card board did break down. I fabricated a new paper pan out of some high density paper again... and then affixed the new paper dial to my new fabricated paper pan. The way you did it should last forever... mine will eventually warp and again fail.. Very nice job on this clock. I love mine and enjoy it every day.

[@dperry428]

I'm curious. Did your dial ring have 5 mounting holes around the edge? This one did and, since there are only 3 blocks on which to mount it, made 2 of the holes not used. That seemed to indicate it was not originally for this clock. Also, if it, in fact, had been on the clock, the curvature at the back of the ring impinged upon the top block, requiring the block to be altered. Nothing about it made it seem to have been originally with this clock. All that matters now, though, is that it works.

[@1pilotsteve]

Yes in fact the paper dial.and backing were all slotted.. of course it was all hacked with( farmer factor) I.temade everything... where can I send you a photo?

[@1pilotsteve]

It does have 3 blocks in the same location as yours and my dial bezel is also exactly the same as yours..

[@dperry428]

The bezel has 5 holes for mounting to the 3 blocks? I guess Gilbert must have manufactured these for more than just this particular model because there would be no sense in making mounting holes for non-existent places to put screws.

Awesome job !!

[@dperry428]

Thank you!

[@joatmonuk]

I'm thinking slide hammer on the glass to hit the nails in the beads, then thought "NO" paint may scratch off... Then you used a clamp, haha I chuckled when it worked. A lot of work but was worth the effort, looked great when finished.

[@dperry428]

Thanks for the comment and for watching.

[@rehorneman]

Hi MR Perry Hope it is getting cooler there so you can start working on clocks again. See you soon

[@dperry428]

Much cooler, with highs in the 50s. Raining for last three days.

[@rehorneman]

@@dperry428 perfect weather wish I was there

The face reminds me of Dick's grandmothers School House clock. I just love the style of those numbers.

@@dperry428 no, his is different than that one. His is a New Haven but the cabinet is a lot like the one you just repaired. BTW, we both learned something new about the use of Super Glue and baking soda. I guess dogs can learn new tricks after all.

[@kowgiirlup]

@@dperry428 For some reason I wasn't notified of your response. I guess youtube changed something again.

[@dperry428]

The superglue/baking soda creates a very hard, plastic-like material instantly. Nice for filling holes and redrilling when a screw strips out the threads in wood. It's been used by model builders for filling in joints on plastic and wood model cars and airplanes. It can be sanded, machined and painted.

[@dperry428]

Google has a continuing propensity for screwing up everything. The eliminated private messaging a number of years ago. People want to email me with pictures of clock problems and can't even leave an email address because Google deletes any links beyond KZbin. I can post my email, but I don't like doing that. So, they've created a social medium where people have a hard time communicating.

Mr. Perry, got the cuckoo clock going, now I have another dilemma. Looked all over internet couldn’t find a problem like mine. I bought a steeple clock from GW and the only reason I did I saw a note I it that it was bequeathed to their oldest son. It has a ship’s picture on the little door pane of glass, but the movement is Mason & Sullivan & Co. It keeps time fine. It is key wind for time & chime. I can’t seem to know how the strike hammer is supposed to sit, but it will go up high & catches on something and won’t strike, but when I move the paper clip looking foot of the chime rod it falls down and lands on the chime coil. Which is weird cuz it stands upright and is bolted to the cabinet floor. Dilemma is when is drops from high it makes a good tone, but I physically have to make it drop. When it’s down it will chime but it’s resting on the gong & sound is faint and not pleasing. Without seeing another like it, I’m thinking is the chime rod should be somewhere in the middle. I’m not sure how to get there from here. Does this ring a bell with you…anything you’ve dealt with?

[@dperry428]

First of all, who or what is "GW"? Second, Mason and Sullivan was a company that sold clock kits. They got their movements from German manufacturers like Hermle and those manufacturers put the Mason and Sullivan name on them. Mason and Sullivan went out of business about 40 years ago. So, your clock is homemade from a kit. Your description of the chime gives me little to go by. I don't know that whoever put the kit together put it together right or not. Can you post some pictures on your channel?

[@sherrisurles1155]

@@dperry428 First of lol😊GW is Goodwill and yeah the guy that made it engraved his name & date 1978. I did read it was compatible to Hermle and even saw a old kit magazine. I just felt compelled to buy it cuz I’m assuming the son didn’t want it. I don’t have a channel and I found out you can’t send pictures through KZbin. Do you have a email. I could send a picture to? I worked & researched all day & no luck. I feel like it might be something simple like bending the brass hammer rod, but not sure. If you have a email I will send you a picture. There is one similar to mine on eBay but they have the gong in different. I just looked up Mason & Sullivan steeple clock trying to compare mine to others.

[@dperry428]

This is your channel kzbin.info/door/XUo5yWwQEWImaYtP0YqmLA That little box with the plus sign is the icon that takes you to upload video. You can make a short video of pictures and upload. Time to learn a new use of KZbin. Meanwhile, send pictures to (edited out).

[@mikemesserschmidt810]

Good job, Don! Where did you get an almost exact paper dial? You look like you are getting in shape? I hope your health is Great and we can watch these for many years to come!!

[@dperry428]

Paper dial is from timesavers.com/i-8947622-11-arabic-plain-ivorypaperdial.html I've lost about 40 pounds and work in the yard when I can during the summer. Been too hot and humid for much of the summer, so I've been spending more time in the workshop. Turned 80 in February, so I don't know how many more years there'll be. You take what you're given.
